I loved this book.

I purchased this book while I was pregnant and the cover brought tears to my eyes (still does). I believe strongly in a relaxed, calm, loving approach to parenting, and was annoyed by all the people who tried to convince me that I should be stressed out about this baby! This book really met my needs - informative and practical, and a soothing read for both calm and nervous parents. The black and white photography is just beautiful.I'm trying to find it for every pregnant friend!

Practical suggestions for simplfying the chaos

Seeing the cover of this book I was apprehensive. Another book on how beautiful it is to have children, with little substantial help, I thought. Well it is about the beauty and a lot lot more. A comparitively short book, each paragraph has practical, sage advice on a host of things one would only learn after years of experience. Written by the daughter of a midwife, the book has years of expereince to draw from. Advice ranges from dealing with family, pets, and guests with bad timing, to setting up a useful nursery. We plan to give this book as a gift to several expecting friends of ours.

Keep it simple, sweetie

I actually bought this book before I even knew I was pregnant and put it away for the future. A few short months later, it was the first book I chose to read about parenting and baby care. It was comforting to read such straight-forward, child-centered advice. I believe that reading this book has shaped my attitude toward parenting into a more natural, simple approach and has helped me keep my focus on my child's needs before anything else. It is reassuring to know that you don't have to have it all or know it all to be a good parent. I highly recommend this book for other first-time moms.

This was my favorite book during pregnancy.

"Baby Love" was one of the best things I read before I had my son. It focuses on keeping things simple when planning for the early needs of your infant. It is so easy to get caught up in all the gadgets and "must-have's" that we see at stores and in magazines and on the internet. This book makes you concentrate on what the baby really needs - love and nurturing and comfort. She gets past the clutter of baby stuff and addresses what you'll need to keep the baby - and you - warm, fed, happy and healthy. To top it off, the pictures are beautiful and sweet. It is a short read and very soothing when you're feeling overwhelmed by everything you hear during your pregnancy. I read it 4 or 5 times when I was suffering from information overload. It's a treat.

The Diapering Chapter Alone...

is worth the price of this entire charming, calming, informative book. I've read so many parenting guides, but none as warm and reassuring as this one. Maud's tips on diapering and handling visitors are the kind that will make you say, "That makes so much sense, how come no one else has ever said it?"
