Book Review: A Single Mom's Perspective
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so grateful that a friend gave this book to me while I was pregnent. What a revalation it was! I could ignore all the non-stop marketing of what kind of gadgets I needed and how I needed to "train" my baby and just trust my own instincts and bond with my baby. Make no mistake, attachment parenting is hard. It's a lot easier to train your baby to sleep through the night by ignoring their cries so that you can get more sleep. As a single mom raising a child alone, breastfeeding around the clock, cosleeping and holding my baby rather than sticking him in bouncer chairs and swings was nothing short of exhausting. Going back to work when he was 4 months old required that I alter some of it, but I stuck with the parenting style for the most part and also adopted a TV-free home. Now that my son is 3.5 years old, every day i see the rewards of my investment. He is a secure, loving, curious, independent, and very empathetic child. People are constantly telling me how "lucky" I am. Yes, I am lucky - lucky I found this book!

Summary of The Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby from Birth to Age Two (Revised and Updated Edition)
In this encyclopaedic guide, Dr. William and Martha Sears draw from their vast experience as both medical professionals and parents to provide authoritative and comprehensive information on every aspect of infant care. The Baby Book presents a practical and contemporary approach to parenting that reflects the way we live today. It is a comprehensive guide to baby care, focusing on the essential needs of babies -- eating, sleeping, development, health, and comfort -- as it addresses the questions of greatest concern to parents today. The Sears' acknowledge that there is no one best way to parent a baby, and they offer the basic guidance and inspiration you need to develop the parenting style that best suits you and your child. The Baby Book is a rich and invaluable resource that will help you get the most out of parenting -- for your child, for yourself, and for your entire family. The topics covered include: - bonding with your baby and soothing a fussy baby - feeding your baby right - getting your baby to sleep - understanding your baby's development - treating common illnesses - baby proofing your home - toddler behaviour and dealing with tantrums - toilet training - working and parentingIn their excellent (and hefty) resource guide, The Baby Book, attachment parenting specialists William Sears and Martha Sears have provided new parents with their approach to every aspect of baby care basics, from newborns to toddlers. Attachment parenting is a gentle, reasonable approach to parenting that stresses bonding with your baby, responding to her cues, breastfeeding, "wearing" your baby, and sharing sleep with your child. For those parents who worry about negative effects of this attention, the Sears say, "Spoiling is what happens when you leave something (or some person) alone on the shelf--it spoils."
