An all-important discussion of the parental role offers comfort and guidance even before baby’s arrival.
Great book for new mothers This is my "go to" gift book for all new expectant mothers. The photos are beautiful and really fascinating. The written information is excellent and everyone I give this to always calls to tell me how much they love it. Not only does it tell you what to expect before the baby is here, but also what to do after. New fathers love it too, since they don't always know what the heck is going on but don't feel comfortable asking certain questions. All is revealed in this book. This is a must have for all new parents and I highly recommend it.
