This book is a must for every parent and is aptly named, as I will be carting it around with me from now on.” Ed

 Teach Me To Do It Myself
by Maja Pitamic
(parenting)
For those of you who haven't heard of the Montessori method of learning, here's a brief overview - Montessori education was founded by Dr Maria Montessori in Italy in the early 1900s. She based her methods on the scientific observation that children teach themselves. She then designed a "prepared environment" in which children could choose from a number of activities appropriate to their development. Teach me to do it Myself continues in the acclaimed Montessori tradition and helps children gain essential life skills, even showing how to teach your little ones to set the table correctly. "Really worth the read." Ed

 Mother's Helper
by Samantha Moses
The Mother's Helper Diary is an activity and feeding companion for new mums (suitable for both breast and bottle feeding parents). It is a comprehensive tabled journal, to write down all of the things that fly out of your mind in those first few weeks after birth. There are columns to jot in your baby's sleep and feeding patterns and even bowel movements. "This book would have been a God send when my son was small. You can just take this book with you to your baby's regular check ups and voila, no more baby brain. There it is, all laid out for the doctor to see. There's even room to write in your concerns, appointments etc. A really innovative diary. Why didn't someone think of this years ago?" Ed
