Does this book give practical and relatable advice? Does it give advice from experts, such as, the American Academy of Pediatrics?
Yes! As mom of 2 and a pediatric nurse of over 30 years this book is full of practical advice that is given in a straightforward manner. The book was edited by physicians and almost all information follows the advice of AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics). If I disagree with the AAP (which is not often) I will explain why and give both opinions.
What age range does this book cover?
This book covers pregnancy through the first year and a half; however, there are chapters that cover childhood in general. The last 3 chapters focus the first few years of life through pre-school and beyond.
Is this book only for first time parents?
No. Every child has their own unique temperament. No two children are the same. You may have to change your parenting style to fit your child’s personality. It also never hurts to have a refresher. It is amazing how much you may have forgetten between each child. Parents in my class often tell me they get out their notebook as a refresher when their second or third baby is on the way.
Is this book written only for moms?
No! This is a parenting book. It is written for parents. That can be moms, dads, grandparents or anyone parenting a child
Is this a difficult read? Will it be difficult to get the information I need when I need it?
No. This book is written in an easy-to-read manner. It can be read cover to cover or one chapter at a time, allowing you to focus on the topic you're interested in at that moment. With 23 subjects you are sure to get the answers you need, without having to buy multiple books.
Testimonials
Here is what people are saying about Monique, her parenting classes and new book
As a physician I often care for sick children, but recently became a first time mom. Taking Monique's newborn class has helped with all of the unknowns about being a new parent - from challenges with sleeping through the night, to troubleshooting solids, and everything in between. Her recommendations were simple to incorporate and I always felt safe implementing her advice. Monique has been a priceless resource that every parent should have access to. As I go through the different stages of development with my daughter Taylor, I often reference Monique's advice from class. Her book will also be a useful resource for working parents who are unable to attend her class. We asked her all of the hard questions and, trust me, she has all the answers.

Monique has helped me through one of the hardest experiences in my life. When I had no one else to turn to she had the answers! Being a new mom is hard! Monique gave me all the resources she could find for me as I was dealing with severe postpartum. She went above and beyond for me and I’ll never forget it. I can’t wait to see what the future holds as I’m dying to read another book from her.

Monique has been a guiding light for parents for over three decades, and this book truly reflects her wisdom, compassion, and dedication. As a seasoned pediatric nurse and longtime educator of newborn and parenting classes, she has helped countless moms and dads navigate the joys and challenges of those early days. I had the privilege of working with Monique in a pediatric office and raising our kids side by side. Her calm, common sense, deep knowledge, and real understanding of both the fears and joys of parenting shine through every page. This book is a true heartfelt gift from someone who has spent her career supporting families - and saving the day (and night!) for so many new parents.

Reading this book has been and still is extremely beneficial. It provides so much information from the beginning of pregnancy, to birth, and even after birth. Any time I had a question or concern, I looked to the book for guidance. It helped me grow and become more confident as a first time mom. I highly recommend this book to any parent, new or experienced, as it is extremely helpful!
