#AtoZChallenge 'Baby's First 100 Days' by Margaret Stephenson-Meere

Of course the second day must consist of our favorite B word: Babies! Babies are so wonderful, but leave a lot of people feeling like they have no idea what they are doing. Today's selection is a book that I saw on many lists, with a four-star rating (at the time of this post) on Amazon. 

What are some of your favorite books about babies?

Book Blurb from Amazon:

Each newborn is a little bundle of mystery. Baby's First 100 Days sheds light on your baby's behavior by explaining how a baby behaves and why, offering simple and authoritative advice on everything from burping to breastfeeding, recognizing signs of fatigue, dealing with tears, establishing a sleeping pattern and, most important, looking after yourself and enjoying time with your little one.

#AtoZChallenge 'A to Z Guide to Raising Happy, Confident Kids' by Dr. Jenn Berman

This blog is one of my newer ones. It is obviously dedicated to sharing books for parents and educators of all kinds. I love to share some of my favorite books, as well as discovering new ones recommended by readers. So, this year, I decided to collect a list of highly recommended books from my own experiences, readers, and recommendations I have read online, for this blog's first year in the A to Z Challenge. And to kick things off, I found an A to Z book that many people love. Have you read it?

Blurb from Amazon

Parents no longer have time to read long books about the theories of parenting. What they want are quick pieces of advice geared to their busy lifestyles and immediate needs. Dr. Jenn comes to the rescue with this fun yet useful book that offers 26 short chapters on everything from pets to being a sports parent to healthy relationships to food to keeping your marriage as much fun as it was before the children arrived.

Designed to be browsed or picked up from time to time for specific help, the book provides insight and guidance for any parent but focuses on those with toddlers to third grade. Upbeat, lively, and humorous, this book answers parents’ most frequent questions about how to raise a healthy, well-adjusted child. Because every chapter is only a few pages long and can stand on its own, busy parents can read what they need when they need it.
