It addresses the needs of the baby and, very importantly, those of the parent during the first year of their baby's life. Forget unrealistic childcare manuals—this is the book new parents will really need to help cope brilliantly with the first chaotic days and months.

Reading this I was able to find areas I wanted to delve into deeper which is why I feel that this is a great starting point for people to find areas they want to know more about. I read this book a few weeks after I had had my daughter and really really wish I had read it before or straight after I had her as there was so much information, with hinsight, that would have helped me and caused unnecessary worry.Covered a lot of the bases, found the bullet point lists of steps to do in certain situations (baby can't sleep, baby struggles breastfeeding, baby is crying) really helpful.
