We are privileged to have author Stephanie Gallagher contribute to our website and share some of what’s being called “an essential cheat sheet for the twenty-first century mom.” In her book, “The Gallagher Guide to the Baby Years: The Real Moms' Survey of Top-Rated Products and Advice,” Gallagher shares the straight skinny on anything and everything to do with pregnancy and motherhood as she discovered by interviewing 194 moms and doctor-moms from around the world. In her kind, friendly, heart-to-heart manner, Gallagher imparts this pooled clever “mommy” know-how—ranked, rated and ready to use-- offering product ratings, brand recommendations (one of which is, of course, The Amazing Miracle Blanket!) and advice that’s been tested in the trenches.

If you’re left wanting more after you read the selection we’ve chosen, we have provided the link to her book below.
