Snappy little read that answers questions in a clear methodical manner. Very easy to read.

Kaip pirmai knygai, kuri supažindina su vaiko auginimu, buvo aišku ir paprasta. Atsižvelgta į temas, kurios kankina tikrai ne vieną būsimą tėvą.
Kas nervino, kad pasirinko žodžiui "baby" moteriška lyti, kaip ir nemažai literatūros angliškai ir kartais pakeisdavo į he. (nors žinau, kad turėsiu berniuką) .
Taip pat maitinti pačiai yra pats geriausias dalykas ever. Deja, ne visos moterys gali, nori maitinti pačios ir tai kiek liūdino.
Čiulptukai yra blogis ir daugiausiai paplitęs vakarų pasaulyje (aš iš rytų Europos...) , bet apie nykščio čiulpimą ar kitus nuraminimo būdus nelabai ir kalbama.

The book is very easy to understand and provides a clear understanding of what's really important at the beginning. Selecting the right baby toys isn't just about entertainment, but also development. Look for toys that stimulate sensory skills, motor coordination, and curiosity. Simple designs with safe materials are often more beneficial than overly complex ones.
