At
the beginning of my pregnancy my sister-in-law brought me 5 different
pregnancy books. I have narrowed our night read to 2 books and every
night I was reading books to my husband and other nights when I was
tired my husband was reading them to me. Soon we realised that it will
take us ages to find information we are after, I started picking bits
to read and then just stopped reading at all.
When
I was offered to review "Babies All Wrapped Up" by Dr
Claire Winstanley I was open- minded but didn't expect miracles from
the book as previous 5 didn't impress us.
To
my surprise "Babies All Wrapper Up" is very "light",
very easy to understand, it's one of those books which you just can't
stop reading. For me as a mum-to-be a found lots of useful
information (e.g. baby essentials, how to handle your baby,
breastfeeding, bottle feeding, medical information as well as
information for fathers and much more) and took lots of notes, which
I am planning to put in areas where I will be most likely to notice
them.
What
I like the most about the book it is written not just by a
professional but by a mother too, it has important tips on every
page, you don't need to read half of the book to find those answers
they are all there.
As
we all have something to do during the day it took me 2 days to
finish reading the book and maybe some of you may think that it's
sounds naive but I do feel a lot more confident that we can do it
(with help from my notes taken from this book, relatives and
professionals of course).
I'm
not quite sure I like the presentation of the book and the fact that
some information may seem repetitive from chapter to chapter (i.e.
the front picture is not "catchy", looks basic) but overall
I enjoyed reading it and it is very useful indeed. If you are intrigued about the book, you can buy it here.
Disclamer:
"Babies All Wrapped Up" book was kindly sent over for the
purpose of this review. All views and opinions are honest and my own.
