Product Description
America's bestselling guide to caring for a baby is now better than ever: announcing a two-years-in-the-making, cover-to-cover, line-by-line revision and update of the 6.9-million-copy What to Expect the First Year, the bible for taking care of a newborn through the milestone of his or her first birthday. The Second Edition incorporates the most recent developments in pediatric medicine. Every question and answer have been revisited, and in response to letters from readers, dozens of new Q&As have been added. The book is more reader-friendly than ever, with updated cultural references, and the new material brings more in-depth coverage to issues such as newborn screening, home births and the resulting at-home newborn care, vitamins and vaccines, milk allergies, causes of colic, sleep problems, SIDS, returning to work, dealing with siblings, weaning, sippy cups, the expanded role of the father, and much more. An updated cover and all-new black-and-white line illustrations complement the fresher book with a fresher look.

Is our baby eating enough? Is this much crying normal? How do I know when she is really sick? This hefty, 671-page guide to your baby's first year is brought to you by the creators of the bestselling What to Expect When You're Expecting. The three authors, all mothers themselves, are calm, clear, and encouraging as they tackle the first year of child-rearing, month by month. The easy-to-absorb, chronological format includes sections such as "What Your Baby May Be Doing," "What You Can Expect at This Month's Checkups," "Feeding Your Baby This Month," "What You May Be Concerned About," and "What It's Important to Know."
Part Two addresses special concerns such as illness, first aid do's and don'ts, the low-birthweight baby, the adopted baby, becoming a father, and sibling relationships. You'll also find discussions of breastfeeding and bottlefeeding, selecting a physician for the baby, diapers and clothing, safety, and many ways of stimulating the baby's development. The recipes for babies and toddlers in Part Three are useful, as are the recommended home remedies; charts on common childhood illnesses; height and weight; and the thorough index. (A particular strength of the book is the authors' careful attention to diet and nutrition for both mother and baby, incorporating the American Academy of Pediatrics' latest recommendations on infant nutrition.) While some of the authors' perspectives are controversial (such as whether to let your baby "cry it out" or not), this book remains one of the most comprehensive resources for new parents as they toddle through their baby's first year.

MUCH better than the pregnancy version.......2007-10-01
I hated what to expect when you're expecting. I found it totally paranoid and annoying. This book, however, was very useful. I enjoyed the monthly breakdown of developmental skills and issues that might come up. It's in a question/answer format, which is easy to read on only a few hours sleep.
Just what a new parent-to- be needs!.......2007-09-30
What To Expect the First Year, Second Ed
My daughter & son-in-law were delighted to receive this book and find it to be informative, helpful and easy to read.
Very Helpful.......2007-09-27
I felt this book was very helpful as a first time mother. Many things that you'll question can be found in this book, and more.
LOVE this series.......2007-09-20
An absolute must for the intelligent parent. This series is not for the paranoid (it will only make you more obsessed about where your child "ranks" amongst otherchildren. This great easy to read book series (what to expect when you are expecting,... the first year... the toddler years) does just what it says it does. It gave us a guide to lessen the shocks and surprises that my daughter kept in store for us. It also helps me to gauge if any social or developmental abnormalities are occuring so that I can seek help if neccesary. Because of this series (in good part) When my daughter had her first peanut reaction on her 1st birthday I knew what was possible, watched, caught it, and got her medical attention immediately. I now carry a life saving Epi-pen. If you are now paranoid , don't get the books. If you can be rational and want to be aware, then run to get it, love it.
Hand Tool.......2007-09-08
Its a useful book for any new parents. It begins by explaining what essentials to purchase for your new born, breast feeding vs. bottle feeding, post parteum then it goes into depth for the first year fo your baby's development. It will be my guide through the first year of my child's life for sure.
Product Description
They guided you through pregnancy, they guided you through baby's first year, and now they'll guide you through the toddler years. In a direct continuation of What to Expect When You're Expecting (over 9.6 million copies in print) and What to Expect the First Year (over 5.6 million copies in print), America's bestselling pregnancy and childcare authors turn their uniquely comprehensive, lively, and reassuring coverage to years two and three. Organized month by month for the second year (months 12-24) and quarterly through the third year (months 24-36), What to Expect the Toddler Years covers each growth and development phase parents are likely to encounter-when they're likely to encounter it. Hundreds of questions and answers treat everything from eating and sleeping problems to day care, tantrums, bottle mouth, shyness, self-esteem, and more. An entire third section of the book is devoted to toilet training, safety, and health, and a fourth covers special concerns-the exceptional child, siblings, and balancing work and parenting.

Decent book, but one sided........2007-10-10
This book is great at describing the normal stages and development of a toddler. It is biased towards no spanking, vaccines, and working parents.

It's a Good Book.......2007-09-16
I love this book and the 2 previous ones (What to expect when you are expecting and the first 12 months). They are informative for new mothers like me.
It's okay but please do independent research.......2007-09-15
Beaing a conscientious parent like everyone else her I would say this book is a good reference but warn everyone to take the information with a pinch of salt! Parenting is both an art and science and a good parent will research for an evidence based approach to healthy parenting. Unfortunately this book, depite well written, false short of that expectation! I would still recommend it for someone who would want a qucik reference guide on the go!
terrific reference.......2007-08-25
We use these books at work. I highly recommend all of them starting with pregnancy through the Toddler years!

worth while reference.......2007-08-25
We use the whole set for references at work. It is terrific and I remind women that they can borrow it from the library. Worthwhile having on your own shelf!
What ever expecting mother should know.......2007-06-30
I used this book with both of my children. I never called the doctor once during the children's first year. When the doctor asked me why I was the only parent that had not had called her with a million questions, I explained that the answers I had sought were in this book. I purchased this copy for a friends daughter. A must read.
A must-have for expectant and new parents.......2007-04-11
This set includes two of the most informative books out there. The chapters are clear and easy to follow and are absolutely full of great information. I can't think of a better book for expectant parents and the first year book is a helpful resource to have on hand, too, to accompany The Baby Book by Dr. Sears, both of which should be in every parent's bookcase.
Love This Book Series.......2006-12-20
I read When You're Expecting during both my pregnancies. I am the proud mother of 2 girls, ages 13 and 2. These books are filled with valuable information and facts. I loved the week by week details on growth and development of both baby and mother during pregnancy in When You're Expecting. My younger sister is now pregnant with her first and I'm buying her this set as her first baby gift! It's a must read!
Good combination of reference books for the pregnant mother!.......2006-07-18
Bought for a friend's first pregnancy! She loved them!

What at [waste].......2002-09-26
I was shocked when I got this outdated baby book.It is a nothing little book with outdated(1988) imformation. I do not understand why it was so expensive...
What every new parent needs!.......1998-10-26
Many parents bemoan the lack of a manual for raising their children. Well, this book provides the new parent with a variety of ideas and guidelines for taking care of their new baby. This book is an excellent information source for parents. Dr. Christophersen's common-sense approach is enlightening and helps calm the unsure parent. A must read book for every new parent.
Product Description
Set of 2 Childcare/Parenting Books By Heidi Murkoff, Arlene Eisenberg, and Sandee Hathaway - What to Expect When You're Expecting, What to Expect the Toddler Years.
Book Description
Packed with 300 tasty, healthy recipes, The Everything Glycemic Index Cookbook is designed to accommodate those watching their blood sugar levels. The glycemic index is a measure of how foods affect blood glucose levels, which in turn affects the rate of digestion. It's especially useful for those watching their weight, and those with diabetes who need to regulate their sugar intake. Using the nutritional information included with each recipe, readers can determine the amount of fat, carbs, calories, and protein in each serving, in addition to the glycemic load (the overall rating of ingredients on the glycemic index).
Features recipes for:
Family dinners
Salads and soups
Vegetarian dishes
Healthy snacks
The Everything Glycemic Index Cookbook is a handy tool for coordinating meals with dietary needs, creating a healthy diet, and achieving weight loss-not to mention good eating!

The Everything Glycemic Index Cookbook.......2007-08-23
All the recipies we have tried so far are great. We are using in in connection with weight watchers, losing weight and my husbands sugar level is staying stable.
Nummy!.......2007-07-17
Easy recipes, easy to understand how it works with the Glycemic Index concept, and good for diabetics and hypoglycemia as well. Love the cottage cheese and tomato breakfast, as well as the Saturday Eggs, and Dieter's Delight (egg whites packed full of veg, and only 28 calories!). The Chicken Francoise with Fine Herbs was amazing, and far simpler than I thought.
Some recipes aren't so 'standard', but that's what adds to the appeal...tons of "normal", and plenty of "special recipes" to keep it fun and interesting. Majority of ingredients are found in my local grocery store, and the few left over are easily removed/replaceable, or found at an ethnic market, whole foods market, or butcher shop not far away.
Well written, maybe needs to be organized slightly differently, but I don't have any suggestions in that regard aside from taking it to the basic ideas of Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack, Dessert, Beverage, etc...rather than some of the odd (true, but odd for your standard Jane Doe) categories it currently shows (keep all the recipes...just put in more "typical" category headings to aid in knowing what is meant for what kind of meal, etc).
Good.......2007-07-12
Very simple and easy to follow, packed with recipes, some a little repetative. But I do feel it was value for money..
Not a book I'll be using frequently.......2007-05-17
A lot of the recipes tend to include ingredients that are not readily available -- many cookbooks will suggest more common substitutes, but this one doesn't. Many recipes take far more time than I care to spend on preparation for everyday meals. I found only a handful of the recipes to be appealing.
Also, if you don't own (or care to own) a food processor, this book isn't for you -- nearly every recipe involves one in some way.
Finally, the way the book itself is laid out makes the recipes difficult to follow while cooking.
Nice Cookbook.......2007-05-14
Some of the recipes I probably won't use, but the recipes I do use are pretty tasty.
