The book is well organized and covers its subject matter in a clear, common sense manner. I relied on it, along with "How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor" by Dr. Robert Mendelsohn. These books provided essential parenting support: they helped me cope and successfully manage many crises, incidents, and minor problems through my daughter's infancy, childhood, and early teens. Dr. Spock's respect for his readers helped me gain self-confidence and follow my own instincts and judgment. His encouragement to "trust yourself" is coupled with medical information and parameters that enable appropriate decisions. (  )carport | Jan 18, 2008 | Didn't we all think we needed this book to raise our babies right? There's some good common sense in here, but I relied mainly on phone calls to my mother! ( )MerryMary | Apr 23, 2007 | One of the oldies but goodies, his recommendations are still rock solid in my opinion.
