Babies and toddlers guide

A superb and very interesting (and refreshingly modern!) guide book to babies and toddlers. Thumbs up here!

All of it good...second half incredible

Entire book was good but I have to say it was the second half when it really came alive for me. I found it easy to follow and it was a pleasure to listen to a new more modern spin on old parenting topics.

Parenting Guide.

Little did I think I could really learn so much from a parenting guide, considering this is my second baby..but..I really did. I learnt heaps. Liked the narrators voice, very clear and easy to follow.

invaluable guidance

Baby's First Year offers invaluable guidance and insight into navigating the complexities of parenthood during those crucial initial months. The author's thorough approach covers everything from feeding schedules to developmental milestones with clarity and compassion. Narrator's soothing voice makes it an engaging listen for any overwhelmed parent seeking reassurance and practical advice.

Thankful!

Babys First Year on Audible is like a survival guide for sleep-deprived parents—think Bear Grylls meets baby onesies. The narrator deserves an Oscar for perfectly conveying the mix of joy, panic, and delirium that comes with raising a tiny human. The chapters on deciphering baby cries are hilariously accurate; I'm pretty sure my baby's cries now come with subtitles. The author's tips are as indispensable as coffee during the 3 a.m. shift, and the humor sprinkled throughout is the secret sauce that turns potential breakdowns into laugh-out-loud moments. If parenting had a soundtrack, this audiobook would be it—equal parts soothing lullaby and comedic relief. Highly recommend for anyone embarking on the rollercoaster ride of parenthood!

Podcast

Heard this book mentioned and recommended on various podcasts over the past few months...so glad I gave it a try...for once the hype is deserved (which is rare on audible these days...)
