A *must-have* for any parent to be! It contains truly everything you could need to know about the MOST ESSENTIAL parts of keeping your baby safe, healthy and happy. From first aid to formula choices and sleep routines, this book has everything.

I found it EXTREMELY comprehensive and is by far my new favorite “baby 10” book. I even have pages of the book taped up on walls around my house now!
