I received this book at the perfect time, it arrived the day before I delivered my first child, a daughter. The wisdom in this book is exactly what I needed to read and hear. The quick guide is not overwhelming with information, but provides enough to give advice and reassure the new mother (or other person affected by a recent family addition) in a time of drastic change. Reading this book over a week, just snippets here and there when a break from new baby care occurred was just what I needed. I cannot wait to read more of the Quick Guides from the "Your Pregnancy" series and I highly recommend them to others.
