"What Haven't They Told Me? - Practical Tips for Surviving and Thriving During Baby's First Year," by Lorraine E. Fisher, should be a must have for ALL new mothers to be, or for mothers who already have a newborn at home. This book is full of easy, no nonsense tips for all new mothers. Simple things that you need to know before you have your bundle of joy such as - "Bring munchies with you for your trip to the hospital," "read a few parenting books, but use commons sense" and this one is a MUST, “buy packages of diapers every time you go shopping in different sizes." This one is especially true. You would be amazed at how many diapers one little baby goes through in a week, could you imagine having more than one baby. STOCKUP!!!!

"What Haven't They Told Me?" also has practical advice for the new mother with a little one already at home; advice such as - "Stock up on ready-to-go dinners in your freezer." You are going to be so exhausted at the end of each day and ordering out gets expensive. Having a new baby is expensive enough already. Another GREAT tip is "Don't have guest over when you first come home."

"What Haven't They Told Me?" is full of simple, great, realistic advice every new mom could ever use. I plan on buying this book as my next baby shower gift. Plus, it's what I like to call light reading. Something you can throw in your purse, in a new mother's case, or the diaper bag, and read it everywhere. Great book Lorraine, I only wish I had this book when I had my daughters over 9 years ago.
