Infants Books

I loved this book. It was written by Max's mom and she used his words to describe his reactions to her pregnancy, visiting the hospital before the baby was born, meeting his baby sister and life at home following. Max does get upset with all the attention paid to his sister, but he learns to adjust and loves his little sister. An added bonus, mom breastfeeds! Great black and white photos go along with the narration. Thank you Laskeys for producing this fun and realistic view of new siblinghood from the point of view of the older sibling.

The title character, Max, is now all grown up. But he is still as adorable as he was at age 5. This book is absolutely charming (especially if you know Max)

I personally know Nancy Kennedy and her book is a tribute to all NICU families and professionals. How is it that a neonatal nurse can know how a parent feels? Through insight - and Nancy has it. Thanks Nancy for understanding parents! Denise Merrill Publisher ICU Parenting Magazine

This remarkable book touched my heart. It took me into the world of seriously ill babies, not easy territory. Yet oddly, I didn't want to leave. Through Nancy Kennedy's rich and sensitive poetry and David Pegher's exquisite sketches, these babies and their parents and nurses come to vivid life. Each tiny bundle, looking precious even attached to oxygen or other medical devices, has a big personality. Each baby not only responds to love and care in a unique way, but also gives back a love so strong it is transformative, even to the reader.

Amazingly, what I felt as I was immersed in the world of infant intensive care was not pity, but wonder at the strength and dignity of us all...the babies, the parents, the caregivers.

When I finished reading I was surprised not to feel sad. As I turned back to reread it, I realized Baby Hands & Baby Feet is a powerful affirmation of life.

Remy Charlip's simple verse and amazing pictures
make this an ideal first book for a child. Charlip's
books are loving, warm, bright and fun.
I was given "Arm in Arm" as a child and I still treasure
it, now 35 yrs. later.

This is an absolutely lovely book. The rhymes are poignant and sparkling. Lovely illustrations. This takes me back to a time when children's story books had imagination and heart, rather than just cleverness.

I loved this book, it's brilliant! As an (immanent) mom to be, I was feeling down cos of my ever-expanding belly and thighs and this brought joy to my day.

This is a wonderful book that will guarantee hours of fun for all moms or midwives. It had all the nursing colleagues at my hospital in stitches! It would make a fanastic baby shower gift for any expectant or new mom.
This is packed full of superstitions that I have never ever heard before, so its thoroughly original as well as well as being very well-researched.
What I most liked about it was that it was very easy to read, full of just the beliefs and superstitions rather than lots of boring academic text.

Friendly watercolors.
Chubby toddlers.
Adoring relatives and adorable babies. What's not to love?

Vestergaard's wonderful word play on a universal theme, babies and the people who love them, is pleasing to the ear. Wallace's illustrations compliment the fun.

All this comes wrapped up in a pastel presentation of perfect poetry.

Makes me wanna go "ahhhh!"

BABY LOVE is a delightful collection of short poems that celebrates the world of babies. Some of the poems are sweet and touching while others are silly and fun. My personal favorite is called SWEET DREAMS:

"Of all the places you can rest,
Your favorite one is Daddy's chest.
You tuck your head beneath his chin,
Feel his breath and smell his skin.
Your cozy perch moves up and down...
Up and down..."

BABY LOVE makes a perfect shower or baby gift for any new parent. It's also a cozy, cuddle-up read aloud with your own special baby. John Wallace's delicious watercolor illustrations and imaginative borders are the perfect compliment to this engaging collection. "Enjoy this wee bliss."

I bought this book because we have all of the Baby Prodigy Products. My wife is expecting our second child this summer. Even though we have already been through the newborn stage once, I have to say that I have learned so much from this book that I didn't know for our first child. My wife and I really enjoyed it. It is easy and fast to read and the writer has a sense of humor too. I loved all of the stories in the beginning of each chapter. I think all of the educational games in the book will help us stimulate our baby and help her develop at a much faster rate than our first child. It is definitely a must have for new parents, second time parents, grandparents, etc. Everyone can do the stimulating activities that this book provides. Great for caregivers and daycares too. Our daughter was also coliky and now I have some great tips if our newborn has it. We have so many pregancy and child development books but this by far is the BEST. It is the Best fourteen dollars we ever ever spent.

GOOD WORK! Hope to see a toddler book too.

My sister recommended this book to me. I think it is a must have for all parents, first time or not. It is full of valuable advice and insight. I now purchase the book for all my baby showers, and I would recommend it to anyone!

Every parent who worthy of the job wants their child to be safe. "Baby Proofing Basics: How to Keep Your Child Safe" is a guide to making one's home much less likely inflict injury or worse upon children. Filled with simple tips that are easy to implement, as well as more extreme measures covered on a room by room basis, "Baby Proofing Basics" is a must-have for any parent, babysitter, or host who wants to keep their home hazard free.

This is an excellent book. It goes into a great amount of detail on how to "baby proof" your home, particularly your kitchen and bathroom. All advice is explained simply and concisely, and drawings are included as well. The book also talks about child safety products a parent can buy and guidelines for purchasing infant items such as walkers, strollers, and toys. Information is also included about outdoor safety, holiday safety, and poison prevention. I highly recommend this book to anyone concerned about child safety.

This is the book to help an older sibling deal with a new baby. It empowers to older brother to feel that he has a special role for the new baby that only he can feel. It worked magic with my 2 1/2 year old when he first had a new baby sister. And, we still at times read it now that he is 5 and she is 2 1/2. And, my kiddos have a magical relationship (most of the time)

This is a very good family related book, in full color, that tells how a big brother relates and adjusts to a new baby brother's addition in the family. It tells about building an excellent relationship with the newest member, and is a joy to read. It would be of interest to students in the seventh grade.

This book offers some new twists to the time honored advice that everyone has heard from their mothers, grandmothers and friends to the lady in line at the grocery store. Ms. Murphy offers practical tidbits ranging from making the baby laugh to more serious matters like leaving the baby with a sitter. All advice is offered with a sense of humor. As a mother a few times over, I can honestly say that I enjoyed the advice and found the format to be engaging and easy to read. I would definitely recommend this book, whether to a new mom or a mom for the fifth time!

Loved it, Loved it, Loved it. Examines real life situations. Recommend it too all!

This book is great. It is simple and easy to follow the directions. I started off with just a basic message but now I even use it for helping my son with teething, constipation and sinus problems. I love it and I'm so glad I bought it.

Very nice book and very useful.
With foot map of reflexology point for babies, and a section with disease (like colic, asthma, ecc.) and reflex point.
