What Eva says:
The book was my baby bible when I had Maya 12 years ago and this
updated version is even better. It's the book I recommend to all my
first time mum friends as it's a great book to read when you need to
know everything about how to care for your baby in a very short time,
but it's also a great reference book to dip into when the need arises.
