I haven't read it. My suggestion to you is not to put too much emphasis on books. There are stacks of books like this one - 'how-to' guides on babies. The problem that other people have mentioned that I found is that babies are all different and parents are different too. I have found that Natalie and I are happiest when we are relaxed. In the beginning I was so stressed about how the books said to do things that I was too scared to enjoy my baby. I've since relaxed about that stuff and have followed my instincts and we are both happier for it. Good luck!
