I got this for free from Blue Cross Blue Shield. It's amazing. It's a big book, with huge full color pages, glossy - tons of cute pictures of babies. More importantly, it shows exactly what you need to do - step by step instructions for changing diapers, bathing baby, breastfeeding. I believe I will be xeroxing some pages of this book to post above the changing table in the nursery!

Great condensed information with clear colorful images. Best photos of a pregnant woman without being too obsence or graphic.
