Summary: The Mommy MD Guides cover common pregnancy and parenting concerns and then are followed up with quotes from actual doctors who are moms. Each book has more than 900 tips from 60 or 70 doctors.
The books are separated into pregnancy weeks (Pregnancy) and baby's age in months (for First Year book.) MANY different topics are covered and you can find them via the index as well.
Many people think that doctor parents must know what they are doing all the time but that isn't true. Doctor parents worry just as much as we do and they have trouble making parenting decisions as much as we do too. So reading these books was a nice change as you get to see what doctor parents really think about. I also like that some of the Mommy doctors have young children right now while others have adult children so you are getting more than one generation's advice.
It's a great book for when you don't have lots of time to read long chapters but on the other hand, if there is a specific problem you are having and you've tried some ideas already, the book isn't likely to have another solution. It's mostly like chatting with a bunch of other moms.
The website has other resources as well including a blog and a questions section. Check out the blog for a chance to win a $15 Starbucks Gift Card just for spotting the book in a store! Also check out the recommended products besides the books!

this is a must for wannabe + newbie moms. embarking on a brave new world, they needed all the help + information they can get.
a must-read!
This would have been a useful resource for my first pregnancy, but I would also love to read it for my next pregnancy. I like that you say it's easy to read for someone who is busy too!!
I am pregnant with my second. This looks like a great book, that I'd like to actually read. We have doctor friends who had their first baby recently. It is funny, they don't know what they are doing either :)
I could definitely use the first year. My little girl is a handful and I honestly have no idea what to expect. The pregnancy one would have been nice when I was pregnant with my little one. Of course... I could always use it for later :)
I think I would like this book. I always thought doctors had so much less to worry about when they had children because of their expertise, but it would be nice to know how the professionals handle all the day to day worries with raising children.
I like how this is "just chatting with other moms". That is more helpful somethimes. Wish I would have had it for my first.
This would be a good book for a first time mother. I am not one, but if I was, I'd get this.
