| They guided you through pregnancy, they guided you through baby's first year, and now they'll guide you through the toddler years. In a direct continuation of What to Expect When You're Expecting (over 9.6 million copies in print) and What to Expect the First Year (over 5.6 million copies in print), America's bestselling pregnancy and childcare authors turn their uniquely comprehensive, lively, and reassuring coverage to years two and three. Organized month by month for the second year (months 12-24) and quarterly through the third year (months 24-36), What to Expect the Toddler Years covers each growth and development phase parents are likely to encounter-when they're likely to encounter it. Hundreds of questions and answers treat everything from eating and sleeping problems to day care, tantrums, bottle mouth, shyness, self-esteem, and more. An entire third section of the book is devoted to toilet training, safety, and health, and a fourth covers special concerns-the exceptional child, siblings, and balancing work and parenting.
Remarkably thorough, caring and intelligent, What to Expect the Toddler Years is as valuable for the seasoned parent as it is for the new parent. 2.4 million copies in print.

What to Expect the Toddler Years provides a plethora of questions with answers regarding behavior, problems, growth, and various issues that arise with a toddler. It is a good reference book for parents or caregivers of two and three-year-olds.
While I recommend "What to Expect When You're Expecting," and "What to Expect the First Year," I don't feel that this book is a "must read." It does contain a lot of information, but not enough about the things that I was concerned about as a parent. I was interested in solving my child's sleep problems. This book advocates crying it out, which I don't personally agree with. I also did not find the advise for weaning from the breast to be particularly helpful.
There is a decent section on toilet training and a decent section on dealing with tantrums that is worth looking at.
I might also add that I found that the "What Your Toddler May Be Doing Now" section for each month was three months behind what my child was doing.
If you are curious about the book, I would suggest going to the library first and checking it out. If it has information that you think you could use, then buy it.

I was given this as a baby shower and as a first time parent, I found it to be very informative. I used it as a reference tool through out the toddler years and it even had a section on multiple births that I needed. I often compared my children's sysmptoms to what was in the book before I called their doctor. I have recommended it to all of my girlfriends and even given it as a gift!

My wife and I used the infant book and loved it. We didnt hesitate to get the toddler one. It is well written, organized and, combined with other sources, gives us a good perspective.

I recently purchased this book and i love it. I love the format and it is very reassuring that other mothers experience the same issues as I do. Many of the reviews posted here, criticize the author's view on ceasing breastfeeding after 1 year. whether you agree with that or not, I think its important to realize this is a very large book and that is a very small part of it. If you "disagree" with the author on that one point, thats ok. Not everyone raising children will all have the same views. Anything I ever read, I first consider the source (in this case a well-educated doctor) and next still form my own opinion.
