Rating: - Wonderful book
This is a wonderful book for complete baby care. I bought it a month before my due date and I wish I had read it before my baby was born (it would have saved a lot of heartaches in the early months). I thought I can reference to it whenever I need, but little did I know there's simply no time for any reading. Now after 10 months, I start to read it and there are so many things I wish I had done differently. The only thing is it's so big and bulky, but with all the information, I guess you just ...

Rating: - Lots of Info, Heavy on the guilt
First I will say that Dr. Sears sincerely loves kids (he has 8, I think) and that I really believe that he and his wife think they are giving the best advice available. And, no one can deny that they have a lot of usful information in their books...everything from feeding your infant/toddler, to nighttime issues, to medical issues, and beyond. They also cover the birthing process to a point (and make it clear that they feel anything but a natural birth is bad parenting).
Rating: - finally i'm a "good mother"
(wife of Mark)I swear by this book. When I brought my little girl home from the hospital the only way she would sleep was on my chest. (I had a c-section, so I wanted to bond the best I could, and I did not hesitate to let her sleep there). After reading plenty of other books on how to get my girl to sleep on her own, and being called an "accidental parent, by relying on other vices" to get her to sleep, I felt despressed. Every book told me I was not a good mother for letting her rely on me, and "mechanical ... Read More
Rating: - CAUTION NEW PARENTS
I was very excited about this book when I first bought it and followed Dr. Sears' advice to the letter. It presents a warm and fuzzy, loving parenting style that greatly appealed to me and echoed many of the tenets of parenting that I believe in. I found the chapters on Developmental Milestones and Nutrition/Introducing Solid Foods to be very valuable and the sketches to be beautiful and hilariously lifelike (hence the 2 stars). The primary complaint that I came across from other user reviews was the amount ... Read More
Rating: - informative
I bought this for my son and his wife, who just had their first baby two weeks ago. I have not read it myself, but they have told me repeatedly how they love this book, and are always reading it and learning why their new daughter does some of the things she does, and what is normal, etc. It appears to be a very useful book, and very thorough.
