Being pregnant for the first time, I have scoured bookshelves for a book that gives practical advice on the things I really need to know. I really need to know how to maximize sleep; how to get the chores done; and how to have a life with a new baby. It wasn't until I found Crib Sheets that I actually got ANSWERS to these questions! This book is the most useful baby book on the market. I feel genuinely prepared to have a baby! Thank you for a quick, easy, practical and extremely informative read.

I am living far from family and close friends, so I knew I wouldn't have much help in the daily routines of having a baby. I needed to find some practical ways to integrate the baby into our busy schedule and still get the rest I so needed as a new mom. The "crib sheet" to-do list feature made it easy to set ourselves up so that we'd get more sleep when baby arrived. But what makes this book a real must have is that it provides real solutions! I'm so glad I had this book when I was pregnant! Since there are plenty of tips and chapters devoted to what to do with siblings when you're trying to get more sleep, I'm looking forward to using it again when I have my next child.
