I love this book

I love babies, and I'm thrilled that this audiobook was created to teach us the proper way to care for our babies. One of the most challenging aspects I find in a baby is that when I hear them crying, I don’t know what they want; it could be food, they might be tired, they could be sick, or they need comfort. Comfort, we don’t know. That’s one of the reasons why I bought this audiobook to improve my baby's feedings. I like the narrator’s voice, and the tips from this audiobook.
