Customer Reviews

Good buy
I asked my partner to compare all the pregnancy books that I found in Kinokuniya bookstore. I am glad he choose this book, since it covers from pregnancy till 36 months. I did compare it with Dr Miriam Stoppard's books, and find this book is way much better for its illustration and explanation. It give step by step guidance through pregnancy that you want to know and even the basic knowledge such as breast feeding babies and changing nappies (with illustrations, of course!)

The best pregnancy & baby book
clear & full of illustrations..
good book for new parents..
give clear explanation from the beginning the the pregnancy until the first 5 years of the baby

A STUDENT OF THIS SUBJECT
Look at the subject then read on. I took courses about this subject while in high school. I'm currently 21 years old, born with a speech/learning disabitly. I watch TLC's A Baby Story, Maternity Ward, a special that was on 1/2002 and going to be on again (a new episode) its called World Birth Day. I read online journals that are written real mother (sometimes fathers as well). One author wrote about her pregnancy was one MSN' Women Central, then her baby's first year (which a book now, its called It Could Happen to You!). She writing on her own website now. The another as written on her own website since Fall, 2001. I reallly them. I read 2 other books about this subject which are by Dr. Miriam Stoppard. I found this book better Dr. Miriam Stoppard books because I like there were other people who wrote book besides the author. Oh, I love DK Parenting Collection then What You are Expecting, and other books with out pictures that aren't of women models or real women that pregnant or anything else. Thank you.
