Summary: Great deal!
Comment: Bought it w/other books for when I had my 1st child and it's very informative. Written by the experts themselves.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great No-Nonsense Reference
Comment: If you're cradling a crying baby in one arm and you need a straightforward answer about baby's health RIGHT NOW, this is absolutely the book you want to have within reach. It's got a great index and extensive information about childcare and infant health. Parents on a budget will appreciate its recommendations about what baby equipment is necessary vs. what's optional -- you can get away with less than you'd think -- and any parent will appreciate the clear advice on what symptoms to watch for and when to call the doctor. Since this book is a broad-based reference, some subjects don't get in-depth treatment; for example, breastfeeding mothers may want to check out The Nursing Mother's Companion: Revised Edition or another breastfeeding reference in addition to the breastfeeding information presented in this book. That said, almost every baby-related subject is at least touched on, and this book is a great resource to check out the answer to almost any question.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Extremely Outdated
Comment: We were given this by our pediatrician's office, and even our MD admitted it wasn't the most up-to-date publication. There is a lot of outdated information and unsubstantiated "facts," and it is not well organized. There are much better options out there. The AAP should be ashamed - or at least embarrassed enough to do an update.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Book
Comment: I think this is a very good informative book. It explains things in a simple and understandable manner.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not what I'd hoped
Comment: This book is pretty general and its sections are broken up into newborn, 0-3 months, 4-7 months and so on. What I wanted was a book that talked about each month individually since baby's change and develop so much so quickly. This book is just too general for me. It does have good info, just not as much as I'd like.
