Books for Mums

There are loads of great books about pregnancy and childcare on the market. These are some of the books that we've reviewed and would recommend. Amazon offer great deals but also have a look at Tescowho offer free delivery on all books orders over £20. Tesco currently have 28 Miriam Stoppard books.

Babywatching

Desmond Morris answers questions about babies such as "What makes babies cry?" "How important is a mother to her baby?" "What comforts a baby?" It's a facinating, informative and extremely well written book, written from the babies point of view. The book has been around a while but is still relevant.

Your Pregnancy Bible

The Experts' Guide to the Nine Months of Pregnancy and the First Weeks of Parenthood by Anne Deans. This book is written by a team of experts - doctors, midwives, health visitors and researchers - under the direction of a practising obstetrician. It provides practical & reassuring advice on all aspects of pregnancy & early parenthood, from the antenatal care you'll need & emotional considerations, to how to look after your newborn & your body after birth. It shows the baby's physical development in utero week by week - including life-size illustrations. Special sections cover the milestones of each trimester & help you to keep track of important check-ups at a glance. My daughter used this book during her pregnancy & found it extremely useful & informative.

Books of Baby Names

There are loads of books on baby names and not a lot to choose between them. Amazon has a great selection at reasonable prices.

A friend of my daughters gave her what I think was some good advice with regard to choosing a name for her baby. He said "for goodness sake just give it an ordinary name there's nothing worse than having a really unusual name". The name of her friend is Merlin so I think he probably knows what he's talking about! My advice would be just not to be in a hurry to decide. You need to live with it for a long time so really make sure you're 100% happy.
