This book (available on amazon.com and barensandnoble.com) is essentially a survival guide for mothers of newborns through teenagers. It covers all the basics, from swaddling your baby and hosting a slumber party to potty training 101 and how to survive parent-teacher conferences. And, since it's a small book, throw it in your purse or diaper bag to read on the go!
