What to Expect the First Year: (Updated in 2025)

This book was exactly what I was looking for. Gave really easy to understand standards, but was also very good at making you feel okay with wherever your kid is at. Definitely would recommend to all new parents!

Great Book for Parents and Grandparents! I use it as a reference book when I have questions.

This book is a classic and a must give for any new mom. It is a great book to give to any new mom and it is constantly updated which is nice.

Life saving book!!!

As a first time mom it’s amazing. It even has a preemie chapter for NICU moms like me. I wish I bought this sooner. Highly recommend.

Got for my girlfriend who is expecting

This book has been my lifesaver this first year of my little one’s life! It describes EXACTLY what he goes through and helps me with ways to be the best mom for him. As a first time mom, When I have questions about if something is normal or not, you best believe this book has it laid out right there in plain sight!! I ended up giving this a gift to all of the first time moms giving birth this past year so they could have this guidance like I did!

More of an encyclopedia of tips and tricks as your baby grows older. Not all babies follows everything that happens in the book. But it’s a great reference to go back to as your child gets older.
