What to Expect the First Year: (Updated in 2025)

Great book, just like the others in the series, very handy for the clueless moms.

This book helped me a lot. It is written really wel because it gives u advice per month. Which i found really helpful. Not to much information at once. But u get all that can happen with ur baby per month.

I had read "What to Expect the First Year" and I must say that it is an exceptional resource for new parents. As a first-time parent myself, I was overwhelmed with the myriad of questions and concerns that came with the arrival of my little one. This book has been an invaluable companion throughout the first year of my child's life, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. First and foremost, the book is incredibly comprehensive. It covers every topic imaginable, from newborn care and feeding to sleep schedules, developmental milestones, and even dealing with common health issues. The authors leave no stone unturned, providing detailed and practical advice on virtually every aspect of baby care. No matter what challenges I encountered, I found relevant and reliable information within its pages.

Recommended for new moms, clear and you can find all necessary tips, answers, advices

Excellent value for the money. The quality is much better than I expected based on the price. It was exactly what I expected from the pictures online. I love how comfortable and easy this item is to use. It fits my needs perfectly. I am extremely happy with the purchase.

Much of this was a great refresher from nursing school. Some of this went into slightly more detail. I really appreciate the authors capability of maintaining a neutral standpoint and reminding moms of what feelings may come, why they are normal, and how to handle those feelings.

A must have for new parents! Ordered for my daughter who just had her first baby. You can’t go wrong with this book!

Part way through the book and so far I have already learned so much and feeling way more prepared. Recommend to other first time moms!

This book was a life saver for me. It covers basically everything from birth till 12 months. It gave so much confidence with my baby

Great book! Super insightful for the preparation of having a baby! Would recommend to all new parents

Came early, great wee book with loads of information on various topics

Wished bought had before delivery

Very "uncomfortable" book to read, the writing format is very messy with multiple columns on the same page and different headlines, you don't even know what to read. Very US specific in writing, many topics but no depth in either of them. I would also say a bit judgemental at times, for example talking about baby's development and comparing them to "normal" babies - what are "normal" babies? Very strange style of writting.
