I bought this for a niece. It's very factual and easy to understand. It's better to receive information from a true and factual source rather than hearing from peers who really don't know what they are talking about. Having the facts makes them better prepared to not get into something they can't handle.

This book has many illustrations that add to the text of the book. The pictures are tactful and very matter of fact. The text is very factual and very matter of fact as well. This is the type of book that you can pull out to explain one small part about the 'facts of life'. Each two page spread or so covers one small section about the facts of life. It is a little bit simple for older preteens but it will have some very good information for this age as well, particularly if htis is the first time they are hearing the information.

An excellent book for prospective parents. A must read for Drs, labor and delivery nurses, and doulas. This book gave me insight on my three son's births and how early comments did affect their lives. It also increased my awareness of the importance of making positive comments at the births I attended and creating a loving, welcoming presence for the newborn. It does make a difference!

The best part of this book is its collection of awesome, authenticated birth (and pre-birth) memories. They support the belief that babies are beings of a very high level of consciousness at the time of birth, to a degree that most people would never suspect. This book belongs on a list about spirituality as much as it belongs on a list about birth. The memories that many people are able to retrieve about their births indicate that tiny infants indeed come into the world "trailing clouds of glory". Their emotions and level of understanding at birth are those of fully evolved spiritual beings, who--one assumes--lose their memories of a former spiritual existence as they mature. Anyone who is truly open to the message of this book will be deeply moved by stories such as the one about the baby in the womb who was worried about his mother because he understood that she was bleeding and near death. After reading this book, you're very likely to want your baby to have as gentle and natural a birth as possible--and you just might be careful what you say in the delivery room!

I was advised to buy this book while I was still pregnant. Thank goodness!! It is a common sense approach to living with a new born baby. Dr. Christopher Green has a wonderful sense of humour which comes through in this book. For instance...A kick in the shins will cure a husbands 3am deafness to a crying baby...His controlled crying technique was a success with my little boy who now had no problem going to sleep. My advice to any new parent or parent to be is BUY IT!!!

Christopher Green's book made made my husband's and my first year with our beautiful baby girl a whole lot easier - and lots of fun too. It is reassuring, written with a sense of humour, and gets right to the point about what you see your baby doing, is it normal, and what to do about it. The number of times 'Babies!' was pulled down from the bookshelf - at all hours of day and night - refered to and followed made it one of the most valued possessions in our home. From 'Babies!', move on to 'Toddler Taming' for more of the same practical, easy to follow and comfortable advice. He really knows what he's talking about.

This is a beautiful book about, and for, babies- the text and, especially, the illustrations are fabulous. This book was given to me over 17 years ago and I still cherish it- it is a book of rare quality that is a pleasure to read to someone special or have read to you. Parents, siblings, and babies alike can bond over a creation of such quality and beauty.

When I was a little girl I was part of a scholastic book club and this was one I picked up. Now that I'm a mother, I've kept the book for my daughter's enjoyment. She loves looking at other babies and when she sees the illustrations in this book she goes crazy. The pictures are very clear and capture her attention. The story is easy for children of all ages to follow, showing how babies interact and what they experience throughout the day. It takes me back to my own childhood everytime I read it.

We bought this book for my granddaughter (now 9) when she was a baby. She absolutely loved it. She would let her baby brothers "borrow it" but would never relinquish it. We tried to find a copy for my newest grandbaby and when we couldn't, I asked her if she would relinquish it now. She still would not. She says she is saving it for her own babies. Needless to say, it is a much loved book. We are so happy we found another copy oof it.

A delightful photo album of babies and toddlers
from tears to laughter, play to sleep. Baby
and toddler audiences are mesmerized by colorful
photos of their peers. The minimal text is fun to
read and listen to.

The only fault I have with this book is that it
should be a board book-it takes quite a beating!
(My 7 year old daughter enjoyed it as an infant
and still does.)

How sad that it is out of print!

This is such a great little book. Some of the pictures and quotes will make your eyes water and some will make you laugh but all in all I found so many of the sayings to be true. Makes a great gift, especially for first time parents. I bought one for myself as a grandmother and liked it so much I bought one for my daughter. I plan to buy a few more to put in my grandaughters keepsake chest so when they will be old enough to read it and understand it hopefull they will see what a gift they have been to our lives, this book says it straight from the heart............

This book is the perfect gift for new parents. It is filled with beautiful pictures and quotes all about the blessings of a baby. I have bought several for friends and family members and even one for myself. And I don't even have kids yet.

A friend of mine gave me this book in 2003 after the birth of my first child. I write special moments in there (like the first time he said delicious or the first time he talked on the phone) as well having loved ones write in it for special occasions like birthdays, baptisms, family beach trips, etc. I'm using it now for my daughter as well and for their sweet and not-so-sweet sibling moments. A treasure both for mother and child.

What a lovey way to record births in your family or wonderful gift to someone who is expecting! 'Baby Blessing' is a very special 'baby book' in which to record births and keep photograhs because it has been illustrated by Ms. Branch. Susan Branch's books are always so special as they not only contain her lovely watercolors drawings but also inspirational stories and quotations. This book will surely be a treasured heirloom to be enjoyed by future generations.

James di Properzio and Jennifer Margulis have given every new father a wonderful gift. Their beautiful book contains short, informative essays covering everything a first-time dad needs to know, from the importance of skin-to-skin contact to the joys of reading aloud. While the text is instructive, it's also friendly, entertaining, and accessible -- and can be read between naps. Enhancing the essays, Christopher Briscoe's black-and-white photos of babies and dads are works of art. (Moms, you'll love looking at this book too!) Very few books are available on this topic, so this is a welcome addition, and a perfect gift for new dads and fathers-to-be.

"The Baby Bonding Book For Dads" is a Must READ for all new fathers. Instructive, humorous and heartwarming, it is a poignant account of simple, everyday tangible ways (such as skin-to-skin contact) for fathers to connect with their children, through their developing senses, that create a positive and profoundly indelible effect on them for the rest of their lives. Written from his experienced voice as a hands-on father of three and, at times, from his own young childhood bonding memories, di Properzio's fathering manual with delightful accompanying photos brings to light the importance of what has too long been considered to be only a "mom thing". Great Father's Day Gift! Great for grandfather's, too.
