Good advice? Sometimes.

3 years ago

We got this book for our first kid, and it's true that there's a ton of good advice in it - but the Sears' perspective is that parents are infant-support systems first and people second. Get the book, but be prepared to feel guilty every time you put your child down, every time you feel exasperated, every time you want to put yourself before your helpless, squalling, annoying, dirty, needy, uncomfortable bundle of joy.

GREAT CHOICE!!!

3 years ago

I really enjoyed this book and I recommend it for any first time moms out there. Dr. Sears ultimately created "Attachment Parenting," and as you read this book, you realize that it's others out there who has made this style of parenting almost unbearable. Dr. Sears explains it as a normal way of loving and responding to a child's needs - nothing unbearable or overwhelming about it. This book is so logical - I just thought it was great!!

Baby 101

I recommend purchasing this book even before your little one is born! Read thru it then. You will continue referring to it until he/she is a toddler! It has everything you need to know - from breastfeeding, illness, milestones, etc. There is a great index and list of resources that makes looking up information quick and easy.

The BEST book of them all

4 years ago

If I could give any new parent one piece of advice (and I do) it would be buy this book and ONLY this book . Dr. Sears' wisdom, insightful information and comments are better than anything I've read - and I've read 'em all! He empowers new parents and gives good and realistic advice - without ever preaching. Please just buy this book. You won't be sorry. + read more

The best baby book you can buy!

6 years ago

I have read quite a few different books about babies and this is by far the best one. It is an excellent reference book and covers every topic about babies from birth to age 2. It covers feeding, development, baby care, sleeping, illness and more. Dr. Sears is a well known and well respected pediatrician with 8 kids of his own. I highly recommend this book. + read more
