I had the 2nd edition of this book. This was my bible for the few months before and after my daughter was born. It's funny, esay to read, and made me feel prepared (well as much as you can feel prepared for a newborn baby.)

.Maternity & Women's Health Care (Lowdermilk, Maternity & Women's Health Care)
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Deitra Leonard Lowdermilk, Shannon E. Perry

February 23, 2007
I would definitely recommend this book to maternity, L&D, postpartum nurses who like to get information from a hardbound reliable source. It has good, detailed information. Only downside, textbooks go out of date. So it's probably best as a tool for while you're in nursing school still.

.Top 100 Baby Purees: 100 Quick and Easy Meals for a Healthy and Happy Baby
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Annabel Karmel

March 21, 2006
My 7-month-old started on "Stage 1" solid foods at 4 months, but they can be kind of watery. Making food homemade is not only fun, but easy,and you can test out different flavor combinations without having to throw away food (fruit purees can be used in dessert recipes for you, for example).

My baby loves everything I've made and really enjoys homemade peas pureed over the yucky, army-green store bought peas!

.Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Meg Md Meeker

August 28, 2007
Our first is due in 3 months(our little Chloe) and I heard about the book through Dave Ramsey, I have to say it's been worthwhile. You might not agree with every chapter or suggestion but the most important thought is that we Father's get involved and be the Dad our girls need on many levels. Some of the info might scare some people but I think it's trying to wake up us newer Dad's to the important roles we play in her life and to take the reins and not opt out when it gets difficult or about something we're uncomfortable with. Good book and I will not be opting out, our daughters deserve the best.

.Heading Home with Your Newborn: From Birth to Reality
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Laura A. Jana, Jennifer Shu

June 01, 2005
I have been expecting to have a baby within two months. I bought this book to learn how to take care of newborn before giving birth. I read some reviews before getting it. A few people didn't seem to satisfy with it. But for me, it is so great. It has got detail of each chapter and easy to read and understand. I am going to have a first baby but this book has given me so much information. If you will have a first baby like me, I think this book is really good.

.His Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-Proof Marriage
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Willard F. Harley Jr.

April 01, 2001
It teaches about the needs of both sexes and how to communicate these needs to your spouse. It also talks about the dynamics of an affair and how to recognize and avoid the warning signals. I also recommend I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't

.The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Vicki Iovine

January 09, 2007
First, Iovine dedicates an entire chapter to why you should not exercise during your pregnancy. She is WRONG!! Please, read the book, "Exercising Through your Pregnancy." A myriad of well-designed scientific studies have proven that exercise is not only NOT HARMFUL, but BENEFICIAL for both Mom & baby. (Not that Iovine cares about science...)

Second, she jokes about it not bringing a couple closer together. That was not my experience.
Lastly, she discusses an OB manually extracting the placenta. YOUR OB SHOULD NOT DO THIS! It is DANGEROUS! Educate yourself & don't waste time with this book. (See "The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth" for all the real facts on stupid OB procedures.)

Having had ADHD since birth and as a recovering alcholic, I found this books to answer the many questions that I had regarding the disease. I was always a self-medicator and that turns out to be a classic symptom of ADHD. Five years and no drugs or alcohol!
