I remember when Haley was born. I did not know what I was doing! I wish I had
Help! My Baby Came Without Instructions! then!!
Have you ever had that overwhelming feeling when you was a first-time mom/dad, or even a second, third, fourth?
This book is jammed packed with some helpful tips to help you survive and enjoy the first year with your baby. I was sent
Help! My Baby Came Without Instructions! by Blythe Lipman.
My thoughts:
I really enjoyed reading all the great chapters. I really enjoyed reading the chapter:
Sweet Dreams. This was one of my favorite tips from this chapter:
- Babies can sleep through anything. Get them used to the everyday noises in your home from day one. No tiptoeing or whispering. Turn that music on and dance to your heart's content.
I also really like this tip:
- Make a recording of you or Daddy singing lullabies and play them over and over for her.
Another part of this book that I really like is that there are snippets from different couples telling a little story from their life. I really laughed at this because it has happened to Adam and I before.
The Birthday Present
Letting a baby sleep in bed with parents can have a downside. On my husband's birthday morning, he was greeted with his little princess having quite the poopy all over our bed. What a way to say Happy Birthday, Daddy!
As told by Alice
I also enjoyed the chapter: Time to Chew. I liked how it broke down food that are easy to chew and foods that are harder to chew. I also liked that a list of foods was provided that are good for the little ones.
Chapters included:
- Turning Off Those Tears
- Sweet Dreams
- Slip and Slide
- Feeding and Watering
- Burping
- Time to Chew
- Ouch! My Gums are Killing Me!
- My Baby Walked at Six Months-How about Yours?
- Daddy Loves Me
- I Love You, but I'm So Tired
- I'm a New Mom and Don't Know What to Do

- A New Baby-the Perfect Present
- The Fine Art of Baby-proofing Your Home
- Yikes! Is It Time to Go Back to Work Already?
- What Mommies and Daddies Really Think
- A Few More Tips to Make Life Easier
I think this is a great book to have and read for new Mommies and Daddies, but also great for repeaters. Such as 2nd baby, 3rd baby and so on. I know that when I had Amberly, there were lots of little things that I forgot about. This book is so helpful!
