Parenting Course

Baby Gizmo Buying Guide Giveaway
I recently had the opportunity to review a book that is chock full of parenting tips for new moms and moms to be.

When I first heard of this book, I thought it would be all about recommendations for particular baby products that the authors found to be useful. But I was wrong. This parenting book is even better.

Heather Maclean and Hollie Schultz, the authors, do not actually recommend any products. Instead they offer a parenting course of sorts to new moms and dads. You see, the sheer quantity of baby equipment that is available in stores today can easily overwhelm the uninitiated buyer. And parents to be don’t have a chance against the marketing campaigns of big business. Do they really need all that stuff?

That is the question that the authors aim to answer in The Baby Gizmo Buying Guide: From Pacifiers to Potties . . . Why, When, and What to Buy for Pregnancy Through Preschool.

Heather and Hollie carefully review every class of baby product imaginable. They discuss the pros and cons, what to look out for, what to avoid, and what to consider when making your purchasing decision. Brand names and equipment models come and go, so the authors make this parenting book timeless by never recommending a particular product. Rather they leave the choice up to the reader and give the reader enough information to make an informed decision.

It just so happens that I have two copies of this parenting book to give away. Leave me a comment on this post by midnight on June 1, 2008. As always you get an extra entry if you Subscribe to Parenting Tips at NeenMachine.com by Email. All entries are subject to my contest rules.
