What to Expect book series
Bought What To Expect and First Year for my daughter who reads these religiously. I don’t remember the correct answers to all her questions and appreciate the reference these books provide. I recommend these to anyone with a newborn.

Very "uncomfortable" book to read, the writing format is very messy with multiple columns on the same page and different headlines, you don't even know what to read. Very US specific in writing, many topics but no depth in either of them. I would also say a bit judgemental at times, for example talking about baby's development and comparing them to "normal" babies - what are "normal" babies? Very strange style of writting.
