Infants Books

I was pregnant with my daughter when I came across this book at a bookstore and, being a person that's very fond of short stories, I bought it - thinking that it's just something to pass the time. I got much more than that. This is not a book about religion, but it nevertheless gave me peace of mind and renewed faith. Truly inspiring!

This one is the book of choice for our 8 month old. The pictures are coloful & not too complicated. The story lines are simple & fun to repeat during the day.

This is an excellent and easy to use book about babies and parenthood. Dr Chilton's wisdom is accessible and his approach to children and child-rearing is both refreshing and reassuring.
I found this book to be a trusty source of information and a valuable guide to everything to do with babies.
Finally a book that speaks to real people with real babies!!!

My little girl (15 months) adores this book. The colors are vivid but not exhausting. The book can be read in a very small amount of time but you can use the book for pointing out items and colors, etc. for years. The size is good. It sticks out above her other books but is narrow enough for her to hold and "read". We have had the book for a year and have been reading it, but we just put the mobile up last week in her reading area and she loves it. Wish I had put it up sooner. We are now going to get the other book with mobile, Bunny Hop. This book was money well spent.

My 15 month old loves to sit and look at the book as well as have it read to her. It is one of the few books that will hold her interest for quite some time.

The CD didn't singlehandedly solve all of the sleep problems we were having with our 10-month-old son, but it pushed him enough closer to sleep that we could use sleep-encouraging techniques from various books. With the CD playing, I could finally get our son to sleep without nursing.

The book part of the CD was not that useful--we have much more appealing nursery-rhyme books. But the CD is why I bought it, and it was definitely worth every penny.

This book really opened my eyes to the Miracle of conception and birth in the BIBLE. How wonderful it was to find out that the women of the Bible felt a lot of the same things we do today. I highly reccommend this book as a gift to pregnant mothers!

I love this book because it offers up things one can do to help the child learn. It also tells you what to expect at different stages of baby's growth. It is easy to read and understand and offers up early intervention. I highly recommend it.

My baby loves this book. She carries it wherever she goes. I am buying this book again because the one she has belongs to my niece who also loves this book. Right now we are having to take turns sharing it. My niece can 'read' it and feels very proud of herself.

At 160 pages this is a wonderful book. The first fifteen pages explain how to read your baby's signals and such. Almost every page of the rest of the book has photos - big ones! Each page is labled at the top as to what is being expressed by the infant and there is a description for each photograph. It is separated into sections by age. It is amazing the wide range of things a baby can express. Occassionally there is a series of photos showing the progression of mood on a baby's face. For instance, the initial caution of a baby shown a new stuffed animal, to being interested in it, to smiling in delight.

Also, insights are offered. For instance, "A smile can indicate not only happiness, but also a release of tension, the end of doubt."

I found it most useful to learn that a yawn doesn't necessarily mean sleepiness. It could mean that they have had too much stimulation and want a less intense activity.

This book has helped us "read" our baby better. It has been a delight. Highly recommended.
