Summary: Excellent Resource For New Parents
Comment: I love this book! It is literally a BIBLE for new parents! It's well worth the money! I would recommend this book 100% of the time.
Customer Rating:
Summary: What to expect the first year
Comment: Interesting, humorous, comprehensive, very helpful. Recommend to read through it during pregnancy. You won't have time for reading after delivery.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Too biased, opinionated
Comment: It's obvious this book is full of helpful facts, but I couldn't get past the constant insertion of biased comments from the authors. In the Six-Month-Baby chapter they call parents "week nerved" (mispelling is theirs) because they don't use the Cry It Out method. There is also a constant use of negative adjectives like a babies "pathetic" hand wave to get parents attention (also in the Six-Month chapter).
I may refer to this book occasionally, but I will not recommend it to anyone. It will probably collect dust on my book shelf.

Summary: A TERRIFIC reference at your fingertips!
Comment: First off, I would like to say that I was NOT a big fan of What to Expect When Expecting, so I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed What to Expect the First Year. Even my husband found himself reading it!
I received this book as a gift and absolutely LOVED it. It gives you developmental stages for every chapter by age. They break it down further to: what they should be doing at 1 month, 2 month, and so on, what they might be doing, and what advanced kids might be doing. I've found myself checking out each chapter so I can get an idea of what to expect (as the title states).
This book also includes illnesses, what to do, cuts/scrapes/etc. as well as recipes, different scenarios that come about and what you could do when facing the same challenges.
I can't tell you how much this book has come in handy when being a first time mom and your kid is sick. It calmed me down as I was calling the doctor because it gave suggestions on what to do in the meantime while you are awaiting your child's doctor's appointment. I'm not saying it's a cure-all, but it does give you enough information that it quells some of your worries.
I don't want to mislead anyone into thinking that this book is "THE GUIDE" to everything, but it is a very good resource to help you along your parenting journey. Obviously this book is not going to speak for all kids, but it certainly helps out.
I bought the next stage What to Expect the Toddler Years because I loved the first one so much.
