Critic reviews

Your Baby Week By Week is a brilliant handbook for new mums. Small babies take up lots of time, particularly in the first six months, so the bite-sized approach to topics such as crying, feeding, sleeping and weaning is perfect for helping mums through all the challenges of the early days and inspiring them to feel confident.

a really useful book to read a few weeks before your baby arrives

Most relevant
This is a step-by-step encyclopaedia to parenthood in the first 6 months. Absolutely chokka full of useful information, guidance on most things a parent needs to know. Where the information is opinion based, it is very much provided as a suggestion rather than a hard fact, allowing any type of parent to glean plenty of useful knowledge without having their beliefs or choices tested too much.

Only reason for dropping a star is because this book is actually better as a reference book in hard copy. Although I did listen to it cover-to-cover, and will probably do so again when baby arrives, having it in hard copy is much more useful to make quick references to as and when things arise.

Chokka full of useful information

Very informative and concise; broken down week by week. Only criticism is in parts it’s a bit dated due when it was published.

Very useful

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

It is practical book in a way it is organised. But I found much of the advice in this book outdated and not very aligned with real life. While there are some useful information, parts of it may feel overwhelming or misleading for first-time parents. For example, the author suggests reducing breastfeeding time by two minutes each day to cut night feeds, but babies don’t feed for the same length of time every night. Their needs naturally vary, so this kind of rigid guidance doesn’t always feel realistic. And sleep training, I cant imagine leaving a babyvto cry 3 night in a row and consider this normal.

Outdated
