Moderate, practical advice March 25, 2008
When I saw the thickness of this book, my heart completely sunk. I wasn't really wanting a textbook to read. BUT, as soon as I picked it up, I read 200 pages straight...this book is VERY easy to read, gives practical advice and is a non-fear-mongering approach to parenting. I'm planning on purchasing the author's other books, simply because I like this one so much!
A bedside book for me! January 23, 2008
This is a good book, easy to read and covers a lot of topics that you may think of when you have a new baby at home. Some of the topics may not be covered in depth, such as colic or gassy babies but it does talk about it and one book can't cover every topic in great detail. In any case, I would strongly recommend this book as a quick reference. I read it basically cover to cover, it was enjoyable to read and I go back to it time and time again, and my baby is only 2 months old - I'm sure I will be using it more as he gets older!
One of the Best Resources out there...and for Canadians!!! June 9, 2007
This book rules...I fully intend to check out the toddler one that Ann Douglas wrote as well. This book was not only comprehensive with lots of useful information for the first year, but was also humerous in parts, which i appreciated. I recieved some of the "What to Expect..." series from friends, and thought that this book was better. One of the things that stood out for me too is the fact that she talks about issues that relates to Canadians specifically, such as EI/Maternity Benefits and Child Benefit Tax, etc...These things never come up in other books (probably bcuz they are mostly American), and I liked that she took the time to address them. I will reccomend this book to anyone who is going to be a new mother and wondering what the first year will be like, like me!!
Best book out there! October 6, 2005

I went and bought this book after seeing an interview on an Ottawa morning show - and am I ever impressed! Finally - a book marketed and written to/for Canadian parents! An offers insightful and helpful advice for parents - right down to registering your child(ren)s birth in Canada and applying for the CCTB - something very helpful to first time parents, and things to expect in your newborn! This book totally blows all the others I read right out of the water (some I was given, I didn't bother to read after this one!) I look forward to buying/reading her other books!

I purchased the Mother of All Pregnancy Books and the Mother of All Baby Books for the birth of my first child. I highly recommend these books. The information on practices in Canada sets them apart from other books and made my purchasing decision easy. I have spent hours reading and re-reading these books (when you're sleep deprived it takes a while to absorb information!). The information is current and the inclusion of comments and advice from other mothers gives it credibility. The writing style flows nicely and I appreciated the touch of humour (yes there's a "u" in humour in Canada) found throughout. Definitely buy these books if you live in Canada and are expecting a baby. You won't regret the investment.
