Qua EHBO en zo soms nuttig, maar aan het einde repetitief en droog. Ik ben diagonaal gaan lezen. Geen aanrader, er zijn veel leukere boeken/blogs met dezelfde nuttige inhoud. 2.5 ster.

This is my favorite baby book. It is concise, extensive and has no ridiculous “frills” like other ones. I buy this for all my best friends who become new moms.

کتاب جامعی بود خصوصا اینکه با زبان طنز برخی مسائل را توضیح می‌داد که موجب میشد خواندش روان شود، به تازه مادرها توصیه میکنم اما در کنار سایر کتاب‌های حوزه کودک.
کتاب شامل یک قسمت مجزایی است تحت عنوان بیماری‌هایی که کودکان در این مدت ممکن است مبتلا شوند، من به این قسمت خیلی مراجعه میکردم و برخی نکاتش موجب دلگرمی بود
