[.uk] Gentle Baby Care : No-cry, No-fuss, No-worry--Essential ... (ISBN 0071398856)

Perfect for busy parents:
I can't imagine any topic in the first year that isn't covered in this big, fat book. I love that it is direct and to the point. I don't have to wade though lots of chatter to get what I need. If my baby has a fever it explains how to handle it without going into the history of fevers! Common issues are all covered as well as more unusual things, such as car seat crying, taking your baby to a restaurant, traveling with your baby, and dealing with unwanted advice. No matter your style, this book gives good information and is very, very easy to use with an ABC arrangement. Highly recommended!

general info, not detailed enough:
This book covers a lot of topics, but usually just gives general info that I could've found by typing the topic into any search engine. I have a few other books that I use much more often (what to expect the first year and baby's first year week by week).

Great book...:
I've purchased two of these books...for two of my granddaughters...both first-time parents. They love the book and have used it a lot. I'd say that's a pretty good recommendation.

Dumb title, but a good book for new parents!:
This is a great book for new parents--especially when you need to learn quickly. My husband and I got the call that we had been picked by the birth mom of a little boy who was already 2 days old. We had to pack up and head to the hospital and I needed information about being a parent. Since we had experienced a few years of infertility treatment, I wasn't too optimistic about our chances of becoming parents anytime soon. Therefore, I had not been reading up on parenting/what to expect. I bought this book at my local book store (for more $ than Amazon, unfortunately)and found it very helpful. Information is easy to find--we referred to it frequently in the first few weeks of being parents and then here and there when things came up. I gave it to my sister now that she has had a baby---she has found it very helpful, too.

Good all around resource book:
Well written easy read. Nice resource book to have in your library when it comes to baby care
