Editorial Review: Product Description: Everything new parents need to know about the care (and feeding) of an infant, from the authors of What to Expect® When You're Expecting. Covers monthly growth and development, feeding for every age and stage, sleep strategies that really work. Filled with the most practical tips (how to give a bath, decode your baby's crying, what to buy for baby, and when to return to work) and the most up-to-date medical advice (the latest on vaccines, vitamins, illnesses, SIDS, safety, and more). Reassuring Answers to Hundreds of Questions:
The only book on infant care to address the physical as well as the emotional needs of the entire family. Amazon.com Review: Is our baby eating enough? Is this much crying normal? How do I know when she is really sick? This hefty, 671-page guide to your baby's first year is brought to you by the creators of the bestselling What to Expect When You're Expecting. The three authors, all mothers themselves, are calm, clear, and encouraging as they tackle the first year of child-rearing, month by month. The easy-to-absorb, chronological format includes sections such as 'What Your Baby May Be Doing,' 'What You Can Expect at This Month's Checkups,' 'Feeding Your Baby This Month,' 'What You May Be Concerned About,' and 'What It's Important to Know.' Part Two addresses special concerns such as illness, first aid do's and don'ts, the low-birthweight baby, the adopted baby, becoming a father, and sibling relationships. You'll also find discussions of breastfeeding and bottlefeeding, selecting a physician for the baby, diapers and clothing, safety, and many ways of stimulating the baby's development. The recipes for babies and toddlers in Part Three are useful, as are the recommended home remedies; charts on common childhood illnesses; height and weight; and the thorough index. (A particular strength of the book is the authors' careful attention to diet and nutrition for both mother and baby, incorporating the American Academy of Pediatrics' latest recommendations on infant nutrition.) While some of the authors' perspectives are controversial (such as whether to let your baby 'cry it out' or not), this book remains one of the most comprehensive resources for new parents as they toddle through their baby's first year. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great condition, very inexpensive, choose standard shipment!The book arrived in nearly perfect condition, and it was practically free. However, I paid for expedited shipment, which was a waste of money because they use the Standard mail. The book arrived on the 9th day, this is not an expedited service in my mind, so I recommend paying for standard shipment. Rating:  - An invaluable referenceMy husband got me this book just before our son was born and I must admit that I thought I would never crack the cover. After a couple of months with a newborn, however, I opened it up and started reading. I only wish I had started sooner!! Yes, this book addresses some controversial childrearing techniques (eg, crying it out, co-sleeping), but I don't think that it is extremely biased toward one side or the other any more than most of the pediatricians I know (and I work in a hospital). This ... Read More Rating: - good book, but....this book is great, however I am having a hard time deciding which month my child is in and what chapter I am supposed to be reading. when my child is 3months old (12 weeks) I am unsure whether I am supposed to be reading the "in the 3rd month" chapter or the "in the 4th month" chapter, it is kind of confusing, it would be better if the chapters where labeled with the corresponding weeks old, instead of months. Otherwise this book has a lot of great information. Rating: - Helpful, Encouraging, and definately a good choiceI have, in the months prior to my daughter's birth and since her arrival four months ago, gone through dozens of baby books, in that desperate attempt many new mothers make to find all the answers and do it all right the first time. This is the book I came up with...of course, I am learning daily that there is no such thing as 'all the answers' and it is impossible to get everything right the first time,epecially considering that there has never been another baby exactly like yours on the earth before. ... Read More Rating:  - Expect Allot of Advice That You Don't NeedThis book is for the type of mom who doesn't really trust herself, and who wants validations for every little detail that she needs to know about for babies. Not all of the advice is bad, but do you really need it? Why not trust yourself and do what feels appropriate? Dietary advice, as is typical with pregnancy and child raising books, is terrible. Suggesting for example, to start your baby on a low fat diet early. It suggests avoiding butter. :( Butter is a sacred food for babies, ... Read More |
