Why I Like It
There is so much “stuff” that you can buy for a little baby. For a first time parent it’s hard to know what you need, and what is safe. With all the marketing time spent on baby products, every manufacturer makes it seem as if you really need their product. Before I started shopping for all my baby stuff I read this book from cover to cover and received great insights into what is absolutely necessary, which products are absolutely useless or even hazardous, and was able to compare products for price and rating.

I kept this book in my bag with me so that I could use it as a quick reference anytime I ran across something that I thought I needed.

This book is constantly being updated so be sure to purchase the most recent edition. This book does not contain ratings for every single baby product, however, there are great tips which can help you make a decision about the baby products that you are purchasing.
