Average Rating: Rating: - Ready to grill the salespersons after this great book! I loved this book. I am a first time mom and adopting a baby. Most of the books I have read so far have been half filled with breast feeding and stretch mark advice. I don't need this, I am getting a baby, not having one. Not only did I take 12 pages of notes but I am ready to go to the Baby superstore and grill (or impress) the saleperson about the baby gear. Also, Vicki's humor made me laugh out loud sometimes. I really did think that the crib and nursery were your most important purchases until I started in her book. It might seem like common sense and who needs to read a book on what to buy but a lot of new mothers do. Rating: - Useful info, especially for new Moms It is a salesperson's job to prey on new Mommies-to-be and convince them that their baby's life won't be complete without every item in the store. It's Vicki and her G-Friends to the rescue again, polling their collective opinions on what to buy, what to avoid, and most importantly, what you really don't need to waste your money on. After all, you'll have to figure out a way to cough up for college in roughly 18 years time- will Junior really care if that expensive Classic Pooh bear lamp is part of his nursery ensemble? Probably not. Let some longtime Moms tell you what they can't live without, what items they're willing to spend more money on, and what "must have" baby things you CAN walk away from at the store. And of course, Vicki makes sure to tell all these new Mommies what they should always have on hand for themselves. Trusted advice you can depend on from experienced women. Rating: - A weak alternative to Baby Bargains This book lacks the nitty-gritty detail of Baby Bargains by Alan and Denise Fields, the bestselling book on shopping for baby. Vicki Iovine and Peg Rosen do a good job of touching on the basics, but a lot of their information is simple common sense -- stuff you should already know intuitively. It's also nowhere near as funny as some of the original girlfriends' guides. Vicki Iovine fans will be disappointed with this one.
