My Baby Came Without Instructions! This book has incredibly valuable tips for new mothers, things I never would have thought of. I am going to recommend it to all my patients who are about to give birth and I highly and wholeheartedly recommend it to you." (David M. Edinburgh, M.D.; Sharon, MA)

Audio presentation spoiled the book

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

The audio presentation was so distracting and frustrating, it will be difficult for anyone to absorb the content and appreciate it.

What was most disappointing about Blythe Lipman’s story?

Content was useful but I would prefer it in a story form rather than a endless to do list.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Annalyn Hostert?

The narrator spoiled the content. Gnawing and painful to the ears. Over expressive!

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Frustration!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
