The Baby Book

I bought MANY parenting books and this was the only one I needed. I repeatedly recommend friends buy it. The Baby Book covers every topic I inquired about and provides balanced advice and decreases my worries over and over. Many books I read on sleep habits, breast feeding or introducing foods are"my way or the highway' leave me anxious and scared to do anything because it is likely the wrong choice. Dr. Sears promotes parents do what feels right and trust their judgment. The book covers many topics. Milestones, growth charts, feeding, bathing, potty training, discipline, health and fevers, when to see a doctor. A previous reviewer cautioned against sleeping with your baby in bed with you, I completely promote it. I brought my babies into bed with me (now ages 1 and 3) and it was easily the best choice we made as a family. Many books are against it, but I believe it was the one thing that kept me sane during the first weeks of constant wake up and it was a time of bounding I would never want to miss. (and yes... my babies transitioned to cribs with ease at about two months)

I love this book so far. It is up tp date and very informative. The authos do not talk over your head and make the information simple. I also love that this book can go to age 2.
