.What to Expect When You're Expecting: 4th Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Family Health
by: Heidi Murkoff, Sharon Mazel

April 10, 2008
I ordered this book when I found out I was pregnant with my first child. Many of my family members had used earlier editions with their pregnancies. I was not disappointed. I like how it breaks up the chapters into months (weeks) of pregnancy. It goes into details about symptoms and reliefs, development of the baby, and questions you may have. I love the pictures of the growing baby and also the size of it compared to your body. It's amazing how much the baby develops when it's not even bigger than a prune. I would strongly recommend this to anyone who's pregnant or knows someone who is.

.Crack the Fat-Loss Code: Outsmart Your Metabolism and Conquer the Diet Plateau
City Travel Guides > Books > Family Health
by: Wendy Chant

February 04, 2008
The editor of this book should have been fired. It is filled with inconsistencies and missing information. It's shocking that it would be published in this condition, but I guess it still sells. Nevertheless, if you can figure out what to eat (and what not to eat) by following the guidelines for each phase of this "eating plan" (she does not use the word, "diet"), you will find success. HOWEVER, this is no miracle diet as others have claimed and you will not lose 25 pounds in 8 weeks unless you are starting this program as morbidly obese. I lost 7 pounds in the first week and by the end of 8 weeks I had lost a total of 8 pounds. I followed the plan pretty much to the letter. My exercise was light--just a daily walk of about 20 minutes. The ... Read More:

.The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child (Sears Parenting Library)
City Travel Guides > Books > Family Health
by: Robert Sears

October 22, 2007
I encourage every parent to read this book despite your stance on immunizations. Dr. Sears gives so much information about each vaccine and its components. He also gives facts about studies that have been conducted and talks about the lack of studies specifically about aluminum amounts in the immunizations. My daughter is 3 months old. I have decided to follow his Alternative Vaccination Schedule. After reading this book and other articles online, and talking with friends whose children had reactions to vaccinations, I feel that I should give my daughter vaccinations to protect her against diseases but that the combination shots are unnecessary and carry a higher risk of side-effects. I also believe that the standard Vaccination Schedule is too ... Read More:

.The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own
City Travel Guides > Books > Family Health
by: Nina Garcia

August 26, 2008

This book covers the basics of what you need and why, but doesn't completely cover the topics. Although a fairly okay read, Nina Garcia's previous book, The Little Black Book of Style, is more helpful.

However, my opinion may be biased as I am extremely into fashion and style, so I have high standards for these kinds of things. It should be mroe helpful for those that aren't as style-conscious, because people like me already have everything there plus other things that are more handy and look better on certain body types.
For example, the little black dress it certainly stylish, but my skin tone and hair color do not complement black, for some odd reason. In that case, my perfect dress is the little red dress, or the little chocolate ... Read More:

.Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child
City Travel Guides > Books > Family Health
by: Marc Weissbluth

April 12, 1999
This book is terribly confusing. The author switches between ages without warning. I makes it hard to understand if the information given is for an older infant or a newborn. This book just needs a better structure.

.What to Expect the First Year, Second Ed
City Travel Guides > Books > Family Health
by: Heidi Murkoff, Sandee Hathaway, Arlene Eisnberg

October 16, 2003
Book is a great follow up to the other "what to expects" and I will be using it as reference for awhile. Seller had accidentally sent wrong book but was kind and fast in replacing it with correct one.

.Super Baby Food
City Travel Guides > Books > Family Health
by: Ruth Yaron

1998-06
Every new parent should own this book. There is so much good information including when to start solids, what to start with, safety, and making your own food. I especially like the suggested meal time schedules for the different stages in baby's development. I'll rarely give a five star review, but this book earned it!

.The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals
City Travel Guides > Books > Family Health
by: Missy Chase Lapine

April 04, 2007
The Book is a great book for all those parents who want to see nutrition incorporated in family meals. But so far the first recipe tried was not accepted by my children they did not like the taste. We will forge on to try other recipes hopefully having success.
