Experts Tell Us The Best Books To Bring To A Baby Shower

I recommend this book because it is one of many baby sleep training books that will help your baby achieve a sleeping pattern and simplify things for everyone. We know how demanding babies can be when young, but, with the directions in the book, your baby can have a definite schedule where they feed, sleep, and wake. The authors present some schedule-driven approaches that are easy to implement. Your baby will wake up when it’s feeding time, enjoy his milk, and go back to sleep without intermittent periods of unrest. The book is a perfect fit for new parents and especially those who have strict schedules and would prefer having definite feeding times for their babies.

The book I normally gift is On The Day You Were Born by Debra Frasier. It really captures how one feels becoming a parent, and is the type of book you can read to your child all through their childhood.

But they have come to me months later thanking me for their favourite baby shower gift.

The board book version of the book may be an even better option if you intend to use it as a baby shower gift. If anything, new moms will love the sing-song pace of the book while babes will absolutely be fixated with the flow and the color. My own kids pretty much cammed the whole book while they were still at 8 months,
