 Pretty Good Resource August 29, 2008
This book is not as great as I had hoped. I am a first time mom and wanted a book that would help when I have questions, like how to help baby feel better when he has a cold, when to take him to the doctor, and how to get through teething. This book did not really offer much on what I've had questions about so far. I would choose something else next time.
 Authoritative, compact, no-nonsense August 28, 2008
I really appreciate this "baby owner's manual." Published by a large professional group effort of the American Academy of Pediatrics, it is down to earth, up-to-date, and clearly written. They cover everything-- physical, social, intellectual, and emotional development, safety issues including products and food safety, and of course, health information.
I just call it 'the book.'
Highly recommended, especially for first-time parents. Great value for the price. (Who can spend more when there are diapers to buy???)
The baby instruction book. Must Read for any new or experienced mom. August 22, 2008
This is it a complete instruction book for the first year. It has everyting you need to know from feeding to changing to when to take you little one to the dr.
Even as an experienced mom this helped me. I got this with my 5th child and it was an indespensible help, since all babies do different things and it is all in this book.
An excellent gift for new parents. Add to a gift basket for baby shower, or buy your self. Great to have avaliable for the babysitter wether it is grand parent or neighborhood girl,
First time mama loves this book! July 26, 2008

My friend threw her used copy of this book in with a couple of baby presents for me when I was pregnant. I picked it up for the first time when I was learning how to nurse and REALLY needed help. I'd waited I guess because I thought that it would be kind of old fashioned and not "hip" enough for me or something. (Because of its yellowed pages, line drawings, and because it was put out by the American Academy of Pediatrics?) But I LOVE THIS BOOK. It's is so refreshingly practical. So informative. I feel satisfied after reading it, like I've had my questions answered. So I'd definitely recommend making the $7 splurge and picking up this book for you, or anyone you know with a new baby.
 one of the best books you can buy, good advices but small size to read June 25, 2008

this was my second option but i think i liked the "what to expect the first year" book better. this book is filled with a lot of good information. however, don't expect a large book in size. it is small in size, like a pocket book. this does metter if you want to see the picture details etc. i would recommend this book as a supplement if you disregard it size.
