Book reccommendation, a baby book for 1st time mum
Hi, I'm currently 24wks pregnant and think I have read just about all I need to about pregnancy so far. So I'm starting to think that I need to invest in a couple of baby books. It occured to me I know exactly what to expect for next 16wks but not a clue what to do once baby is actually here !!

My hv told me that GF's advice always made you out to be a bad mum, but without actually reading one of her books I can't actually comment too much about her I suppose!
A book I can recommend and has been my bible during pregnancy, birth & after is Birth & Beyond by Yehudi Gordon. I think we got it from Amazon. My oh's GP recommended it to us and it's fab. A bit new age in parts but it has all the advice you need, plus homeopathic remedies for you & baby. At the back there's an A-Z of medical info regarding nearly everything you can think of!

I have heard so many mixed reviews of Gina Ford, so I would say it depends what kind of parent you want to be. If you want a set routine then she is the one to go with, if not then maybe steer clear. At first I was dead against GF but after reading the free book of hers I got with this months Prima baby magazine, I have now got my lo into a nice daytime sleep pattern.
