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

The Baby Book by Sears

The What to Expect book about the baby years

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

Baby Book by Sears

Babycenter community message boards seem to have a large contingent of young, unwed mothers.

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.

I also loved a good baby name book. The Baby Name Wizard

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).

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.

not sure, but i think holy cross sponsors a support group.

Why so nasty?

She's probably not the literary type...

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!
