This is the cutest, sweetest book. We are a pro breast feeding family so I was concerned what the previous reviewer said, but to clarify, it says 'sometimes' baby drinks from a bottle. It did not bother me in the least. I love the art, it has a touch of neon. I am tempted to buy 2 because my 4 girls all want to read it and play with the baby. It is one of the only books my 12 month old asks for. Love it !

I can't say enough good things about this book. My daughter is almost 3 and we're due to have a baby in a week. This book has helped introduce our daughter to the idea of the new baby. She loves changing the diaper and feeding the baby. I posted a video of her playing with it online and my 5 year old niece immediately decided she needed it as well. My mother, who was a preschool teacher for 40 years, loves the book. I highly recommend it.

I bought this book on a complete whim and a prayer. Our 2.5 year old has really been struggling to adjust to life with our new baby.This book is wonderful!! It gives us something to discuss hands-on and then she can mimic/mirror with her baby from the book. She loves feeding the swaddled baby in the book.This is so perfect for a 2-2.5 year old. If I could get another bottle though, she kind of mangled it by chewing on it.This will become a routine gift for friends having a second child. Love it so much.

My two year old and her cousin, who is almost 3, were entertained by this book all through church. Both girls have baby siblings and had fun doing the different activities in the book (obviously with adult observation so they didn't break pieces off). I only give this book 4 stars because the final baby has to be shared between the last two pages. Originally, we thought a piece was missing because there is nothing when you flip through the book and arrive at the final page. As for posts about the bottle feeding, I am a nursing mom and my nephew takes a bottle. My daughter pretends to feed a baby both ways. She knows that a baby can eat different ways. Not really an issue in our family.

Two year old twins, boy and girl both request this book and want to play with the baby. We have to discuss turns. So far, no problem with them pulling off the arms on the one "so big" page, but I can see why this could be a problem. Clear packing tape would heal baby if this occurs. The twins like having me tickle their tummies, play "so big" and peekaboo with them as we read about it being done with baby.

my son loved this book! it was great to read to prepare him for his baby brother that was coming! :) it's great bc it is interactive. it's great bc it talks about bottle feeding AND breastfeeding. it allows him to pick up the bottle and pretend feed - it allows him to swaddle and allows him to bounce and shhhhhh the baby to sleep. plus, the illustrations are just cute. it's a boutique style book that actually serves a purpose and is creative!

It seems that all toddlers are curious about babies and this book fosters that interest while developing fine motor skills.The child will get to feed the baby with a bottle, swaddle the baby, change the baby's diaper, hold the baby, and put them baby to bed under the blanket.It could be helpful to a child who is expecting a younger sibling or even for the toddler who needs to learn in a positive way that he/she is a big kid and no longer a baby.I would recommend it for either a toddler girl or boy.

My toddler loves this book! We got it for her after reading that it was good for small ones expecting younger siblings. She loves taking care of the little baby on each page, from feeding, changing, tickling, swaddling, and tucking them in! Great way to show what it takes to care for a new baby!
