| Brought thoroughly up-to-date-with the latest information on everything from diapering to daycare, from midwifery to hospital "birthing rooms," from postpartum nutrition to infant development-THE BABY BOOK remains the one must-have resource for today's new parents. In this perennially bestselling and encyclopedic guide, Dr. Bill and Martha Sears draw from their vast experience both as medical professionals and as parents to provide authoritative, comprehensive information on virtually every aspect of infant care. THE BABY BOOK focuses on the essential needs of babies-eating, sleeping, development, health, and comfort-as it addresses the questions of greatest concern to parents today.

I have this book and read and referred to it many times. Much of the information is sound advice from medical professionals. BUT--the promotion of the family bed and attachment parenting will not work for everyone. Ultimately the family bed and co-sleeping were NOT for me. I am a light sleeper. Our first child was in and out of our bed, making the entire family sleep deprived. At 14 months we decided co-sleeping wasn't working for us; we put her in a crib and she was confused and angry. At 5 she is still inordinately attached to me. With our second child I was determined not to follow Sears advice. After nursing, I put him right into the cradle and patted him to sleep. He is now 2 and 1/2. People are still amazed at his ability to self-soothe and fall right to sleep at naps and bedtime. Sleep has never been an issue with him, and I feel he is just as loving as our first child - and much more secure! Instead of Sears, I recommend Your Baby and Child by Penelope Leach.

No need to buy the pregnancy book or the others in the Sears collection. This book has enough information on most of the topics you need to be knowledgable of. Easy reading and a great consultation book after your baby is born.

If you read only one book, this is it! As a parent and a licensed marriage and family therapist, I have read most books on this subject. Dr. Sear's books are the only ones that I have found that are consistent with a baby's developmental needs. I have been stunned to read some of the incredibly bad advice out there in other books. I give this book to every new parent I know!

Buy this book! It has been the most helpful book I've read on childcare, and I've read a lot. It has validated me on the style of parenting that fits me the best and has been an excellent guide on how to be more effective in this style of parenting. It has helped me foster security in my kids.

This is my baby bible! It covered everything that my husband and I had questions/ concerns about! They leave no stone unturned! It is very "instinct friendly" :O) The milestones are very realistic as well.
