THE SECOND BABY BOOK

Great purchase

Felt little uncomfortable as it was more of like abroad living but nice to read

Nice and well organized book. Did not realize that there are so many aspects to consider. Good stories that makes you feel in company

Not worth reading

The content of the book is great, but it is a real pity that it is 100% focused on mothers. It has been very frustrating for me (a millennial dad that is willing to do his part) to see how it only talks to woman.

Super helpful when we are expecting our second born. It speaks right into my concerns and general wonders. It also gives great reminders and tips about parenting two kids!

My husband and I are currently TTC our second baby. I came across this book because I am signed up to Sarah Ockwell-Smith's email newsletter. It has come at the perfect time. After spending lots of time googling "second pregnancy", I haven't found much written on the subject. As usual, Sarah writes in a comprehensive way - full of personal anecdotes as well as research - and is very informative as well as calming. She covers everything from the decision to have a second baby to sibling rivarlry, to deciding to have more than two children. I like that she also includes a section on dealing with a previous loss of a child. Since it covers so many areas, the book acts as a good resource for dipping in and out of and reading the section that is currently relevant to you. I read it from start to finish because I found it so interesting, but I think I will definitly re-read sections as our second-child journey progresses. I would highly reccomend this book to anyone thinking about a second child, as well as those already pregnant with or who already have a young second baby.

Loved it. Great book. Gave me lots of different perspectives to consider and well written. :-)

Zur Vorbereitung auf unser 2. Kind habe ich nach einem guten Buch gesucht und mir viele angeschaut. Dieses ist mit Abstand das Beste und ich kann es allen werdenden Zweit-Müttern nur empfehlen. Auf dem deutschsprachigen Markt gibt es meiner Meinung nach nichts ähnliches. Vielfältig auch in den Themen die behandelt werden…
