My cousin is 19 and just found out she's pregnant. Does anyone have any ideas for good books for younger moms that might speak to her?
Thanks! |

| Is a book going to do much? It's very kind of you to think of your cousin, but I'm assuming you are a parent and that hers are maybe not so helpful? You being there and supportive is going to matter a lot more. |

She's 19, and out of highschool She's a young mom, but will likely not be a teen mom.
How about Girlfriend's Guide to parenting? I was a young mom and I enjoyed the What to Expect Book and a nice book on breastfeeding (if she's going to try it). |

| I was a teen mom twice. I was not about to read a baby book then. Give her a book that's the resource book for newborns through 5 yr olds - I can't remember the name of it - that she can use as a resource book. |

| This isn't necessarily a book for teen moms, but I love Baby 411. So very helpful. |

Last PP here. Not sure if your cousin is local or would be interested, but I run this program in DC:
