Lullaby: a Beautiful and Soothing Collection of Night Time Songs for Children and Grown Ups

by: Sophie Barker

Release Date November 22, 2004
Lullaby: a Beautiful and Soothing Collection of Night Time Songs for Children and Grown Ups

This album calms & promotes sleep for our little girl, who is very, very resistant to sleeping! We play it every night at bedtime & then constantly through the evening to keep her asleep, so the repeat button gets a lot of use! The music compilations have been beautifully created & the music is very relaxing for us too! Even my 7 year old likes the CD. The songs literally get in your head & I find myself humming or singing them during the day! Wish we had found the CD earlier, and would recommend to anyone with young children. Can't wait for the rest of the collection to be available.

Faces (Baby's Very First Book)

from: Macmillan Children's Books

Release Date October 25, 2002
My little girl has been interested in these types of books from the age of 2 months (she also has a pets one) when she became fascinated by the pictures. She is now 4.5 months and still loves to look at the pictures (with a few sound effects from mum or dad!) or just grab the book and scrunch it up (it makes a crinkly noise) and put it in her mouth! It's very light so she can move it around easily. These kind of books aren't expensive and I reckon they're well worth the money.

Baby Einstein: Lullaby Classics

by: The Baby Einstein Music Box Orchestra

Release Date February 06, 2006
sorry to see that this CD has got a bad review as I think it is wonderful. My son can't go to sleep without it, it really helps him to relax and unwind. I think the fact that it isn't the original version is good, as the tracks are shorter and don't get too loud which is often the case with classical music. I really like listening to it too, I think it is well made!

Annabel Karmel's New Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner

by: Annabel Karmel

Release Date January 24, 2008
We simply refer to this book as 'The Food Bible'. I have used it constantly since starting to wean my daughter. She is now over one and I'm still getting my money's worth out of it. Some of the recipes have become family favourites! Simple, practical recipes which are tasty, what more could you ask. I found I picked about 5 or 6 from each age range and kept cooking batches, adapting to suit what i had in the cupboard, and to my daughters changing tastes. Good practical advice and a great starting point for weaning and cooking for a family.

We bought this for our three-week old when he was two weeks old and he can't get enough of it! He will quite happily lie and stare at the bold, bright images for ages.

Top 100 Baby Purees: 100 Quick and Easy Meals for a Healthy and Happy Baby

by: Annabel Karmel

Release Date September 01, 2005
I bought this book for my son's first solid food and I wasn't dissapointed. Although you probably don't need a recipe to make an apple pure, once you're past the first stage, it's getting more interesting. I cooked my son many meals from that book and served them (not mashed) to his Daddy too - they both loved them! Gives you ideas how to combine flavours and you can get surprised.

Presentation is nice and although I owe some other cook books for children - this one is by far my favourite one.

What to Expect the First Year (What to Expect)

by: Arlene Eisenberg, Heidi E. Murkoff, Sandee E. Hathaway

Release Date May 04, 2004
I bought this book on the back of 'What To Expect When You Are Expecting' and having borrowed this one from the library first. Both books are excellent, however I pre-ordered the 2008 edition, having read the 2004.

Why not 5 stars? Another review comments on the anglicising of the US law and support references, which is certainly the case in the 2004 edition What to Expect the First Year (What to Expect) but the 2008 edition is the American edition What to Expect the First Year and all the references are to the US system, some of which are completely different to UK, eg in the US the hospital files for your baby's birth certificate, here you register baby yourself. (A fairly obvious difference which is made very clear in hospital ... Read More:

40 Favourite Nursery Rhymes

by: Various Artists

Release Date July 14, 1997
This is the 4th Cd I've bought for baby - and about time I got one this appropriate. Fantastically normal - not folky, operatic or weirdly modern - sung by normal voices with a bit of character for each song. Listened to it loads already and still not annoyed in the slightest.
