"With humor, sensitivity, an easy, no-jargon style, and a million 'extras' that the leading baby books on the shelves don't cover, Ann Douglas holds nothing back. Finally, a baby book written for women of my generation!"
- M. Sara Rosenthal, author of The Breastfeeding Sourcebook,
and founder of www.sarahealth.com
"A major thumbs-up goes to The Mother of All Baby Books - a fabulously
written, comprehensive guide to baby care that is definitely a must-read for any
parent or caregiver. Full of real-life experiences and wonderful tips, this book answers all those nagging little questions that plague parents, as well as providing scads of valuable ideas on how to do a bang-up job of baby care. It covers the whole spectrum-everything from getting prepped for the magical moments (meeting/greeting your brand-new baby), to brass-tack practicalities, such as choosing a baby carrier. (I'll definitely keep this book close at hand for my own new-baby questions this year!)"
- Jennifer Shoquist, M.D., author of Potty Training For Dummies
