Book Review: Caring for your Baby
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought this book to have while babysitting my grandchildren as to what should be normal growth and development. So far it has been informative as an reference book for me.Book Review: Great Resource
Summary: 4 Stars
I received this book before I had my first child 3 yrs ago. It is very comprehensive and informative especially from birth to 2 yrs. I still look at it everytime my child gets sick or if I want to see if his motor skills, emotional, physical development is on track. I like it so much that I just bought it for my friend when she had her first baby. The only thing I wonder is when a new edition is coming out since this book was published in 2004.Book Review: Disorganized and Inconclusive
Summary: 2 Stars
I received this book free from 'Publix Baby Club' and was disappointed by its layout and language. I love to read and wanted to be sure I knew all that I could about infant care before I delivered my first child so I was eager to take all I could from this guide. Unfortunately the book jumped around and didn't seem organized, and therefore I was turned off to it. The content isn't as straightforward or as clear as it could be. If this is your only "manual" for infant and childcare, then by all means use it in stride. However, for a cleaner, clearer, concise and more conclusive book (in my own humble opinion), I'd recommend getting What to Expect the First Year, Second Edition by Heidi Murkoff, Arlene Eisenberg, and Sandee Hathaway. Book Review: Highly Informative, "A Bible", our hospital nurse said
Summary: 5 Stars
Very good book was given by my son's pediatrician's office, which I recommended to my family, friends, and colleagues. I gave one copy to my brother and kept another copy for myself.
I did read every chapter as our first son grew (born 7 years ago). Each chapter cover the growing stages of babies: birth to one month, one to three months, etc, plus some specific chapters, including feeding, toys, growing mile stones, etc. The book says pretty much the same information as our sons' pediatrician say. I re-read the book for my newborn again, every chapter.
Our sons' pediatricians enjoy to communicate with us because we are educated by the book. The book covers how to take care of the babies/kids in details, including mindful and smart tricks ...
Highly recommended.
Book Review: Helpful resource for new parents
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has been a really helpful resource for me as a new parent. I read the beginning chapters before our baby arrived. I've referenced it a number of times in her first month of life to figure out if what our baby is experiencing is "normal". It's helpful to know that the info is from an authoritative source like the AAP. I'd recommend this book for the library of all parents, especially new parents.
