Evaluation comments:
“The information in this book is VERY useful.”
“It’s presented differently than the classic baby books that seemed to teach some outdated information in hard-to-read chapters. This gives you everything you need to know in a more pragmatic way.”
“It is the perfect book for the millennial mom. They even have a “padsicle recipe” for postpartum recovery which I don’t think you’ll find in the other books!”
I loved the postpartum information in general. It touched on subjects like swaddling techniques, eating while parenting (which I forgot to do a lot) and setting “visiting hours” in the hospital (i.e. setting boundaries for visitors and how to protect your newborn from germs).”
“I love this book. I’m giving it to all my pregnant friends.”
