 A "1st time" parent staple! October 26, 2008
Rcv'd this as a baby shower gift---one of the best. I definitely know what I'll get any other 1st time parents for future baby showers. This book is extremely resourceful because it covers so many topics/issues that you and your baby are bound to go through. There were chapters I avoided hoping that I wouldn't need to go there (fevers/colds...)---of course, I eventually did and it helped me and my husband deal with the stress 1st timers go through---I swear it's better than most advice your pediatrician will give you---it's like having one at home!
Comprehensive and easy to read October 5, 2008
This book offers comprehensive information about babies and toddlers. A big help to the new mom. And it is written in an easy to read style. I felt well-prepared for starting my journey into motherhood.
My Favorite Baby Book September 23, 2008

I guess I'm this book's target audience. I am a breastfeeding, co-sleeping, baby wearing, stay at home mom. I have found great advice and support in this book. I never viewed my parenting method as radical, it's just the way I want my child raised. If you are already following an attachment parenting model this book is an excellent guide. If you are an absolute "traditional" parent this book probably isn't for you.

PROS:
we LOVE this book since it gives us the right balance between what the field of medicine has to offer with our more natural philosophy of living.
In other words, it gives the vaccination when needed, but also supports co-sleeping and wearing the baby.
So we can keep with our way of life, knowing that we do the responsible thing, giving the medication when needed.
It also has a bunch of advice on other issues such as good foods, pacifier vs. finger, etc.
CONS:
none.
Good and thick book! September 16, 2008
Bought this book as I also believe in attachment parenting.I am still reading it as the book is extremely thick.It covers almost all areas. What I like most about this book as opposed to those "Schedule and Routine training books" is that it doesnt make you feel guilty about wanting to co-sleep with your baby. It felt natural to me and this book actually encourages it.A lot of the things like attending to your baby when he cries and carrying your baby when he wants to be held are encouraged. Other books usually tell you that you are spoiling a child but what does a new baby know about spoiling? They just want to feel loved and secure. I feel a lot more confident about my natural way of parenting.My baby is contented and so am I.Great book.Good buy. Worth every cent. The Dr.Sears website is also excellent.
