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.

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!

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.
