Wish we'd had this for our eldest!
This was an enormous help to us in those early, sleepless months of raising our twins. Wish we'd had it when we were raising our eldest!!

This is a really good program
A friend of mine is a childbirth educator. She uses this program in her childbirth classes and recommended it to me. It is really well done. It covers all the important information I needed to know during pregnancy. I really liked that it is not a talking head lecture but has real pregnant parents and real nurses. It also has some nice animations to help you understand what happens to your body during pregnancy.

Starting Out Safe and Sound
This dvd gives you all the information you need to know about baby health and safety for the first months of life. The information provided is presented clearly with easy-to-follow demonstrations by real parents. I highly recommend this video.
