Book Reviews of What to Expect the First Year, Second Edition

Book Review: Not the reference book I thought it would be
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought this book partly because of its immense size (806 pages): I thought it would be a great reference book for me to look up anything I wanted to know about my baby during the first year. I must say that I am disappointed. It has a lot of pages because it is too wordy. Every chapter has a section on every day questions that any parent may have about their baby's development. But I find too many of these to be trivial. Or worse, far too often, the response is in essence: it's probably not a big deal, but if you are really concerned, check with your doctor. That's hardly a revelation. The book is broken into chapters for each month of your baby's first year, which I initially found very attractive. However, some of the information seems oddly placed. For example, there is a section on choosing the right child care or day care in the chapter of the third month. Where I live, day cares have 6 month waiting lists; it's something you need to be thinking about way before the third month. I also wish the book had more pictures. For someone like me who had never changed a diaper or swaddled a baby, I found the pictures and descriptions insufficient. Fortunately, I found better explainations in other books. Don't misunderstand me. Though the book takes a long time to read, it does have tons of useful information. However, it is not as comprehensive as I had hoped. For example, I had heard that babies cannot see colors when they were born, so I wanted to know if that is true, and if so, when they do start seeing colors. The book did not have a good explaination. It basically said babies enjoy contrasting colors. I had to go to another source to find the real answer. I think this is a good book, but you will need another source of information to get the full story on what to expect from your newborn.

Summary of What to Expect the First Year, Second Edition

America's bestselling guide to caring for a baby is now better than ever: announcing a two-years-in-the-making, cover-to-cover, line-by-line revision and update of the 6.9-million-copy What to Expect the First Year, the bible for taking care of a newborn through the milestone of his or her first birthday

The Second Edition incorporates the most recent developments in pediatric medicine. Every question and answer have been revisited, and in response to letters from readers, dozens of new Q&As have been added. The book is more reader-friendly than ever, with updated cultural references, and the new material brings more in-depth coverage to issues such as newborn screening, home births and the resulting at-home newborn care, vitamins and vaccines, milk allergies, causes of colic, sleep problems, SIDS, returning to work, dealing with siblings, weaning, sippy cups, the expanded role of the father, and much more. An updated cover and all-new black-and-white line illustrations complement the fresher book with a fresher look.
