Guide Review - Baby Lists by Elaine Farber
One of the really handy aspects of the book was the level of detailed information on how to find some of the items. Have you ever seen something in a magazine and wanted to order it but couldn't figure out where it came from? Farber makes sure that doesn't happen, by giving you some multiples resources for items.
Her knowledge of baby care certainly shows in the baby care items. And, as a mother of multiples myself, I love that she addresses multiple babies through out the book.
My one complaint about the book is really the beginning in talking about hospitals and doctors. Farber gives such solid and varied advice for all types of people that I was disappointed to see no mention of birth options like birth centers, midwives and home birth at all. While this is not the main focus of the book, this part seems like someone just told her to tack it on as it seems out of place and not her specialty, despite the fact that she obviously tried to make it the same depth as the rest of the well thought out information.
