It is also a complete month-by-month baby book, with images and info on the growth of your baby and the changes in your body.
There are no recipes in here, though, so if you are looking for a cookbook, this isn't it. But you will get information on every kind of food, vitamin, mineral, carbohydrate, protein, etc., source you can think of!
