Overall, couldn't recommend it all. Not bad, just nothing really worth having. Much better books are available for parents entering that first year. You could even try the www.undefeateddaddy.com website for parenting tips and advice from a dad with a 2 1/2 year old and another one on the way! (  )ArcticLlama | Feb 14, 2009 |   This book serves as a great tool for new parents. I do not agree with everything but it was great to use as a guideline when questions would arise. (  )schmapp | Dec 16, 2008 | Decent books, though not indispensable and in my opinion not really worthy of the popularity they've received. (  )erinegarner | Nov 5, 2008 | How do I know when I should call a doctor? When am I going to start feeling like a parent? How can I get my baby to sleep through the night? My baby is twelve months old and still not walking -- is there anything wrong? This comprehensive and practical month-by-month guide clearly explains everything parents need to know -- or might be worrying about -- in the first year with a new baby. Featuring special sections on older siblings, travelling with a baby, adopted babies, and specific problems, as well as a first aid guide and charts on monthly growth and development, feeding and sleeping habits, this is the only book on infant care to address both the physical and the emotional needs of the whole family. Covering the most up-to-date knowledge, both medical and developmental, What To Expect The First Year is, above all, down-to-earth and reassuring -- and an invaluable aid for all parents of new babies. rajendran | Aug 27, 2008 | The owners manual for your newborn baby. A valuable reference for everything, month by month. maryanntherese | Apr 13, 2008 | 0.043 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0894805770, Paperback)Is our baby eating enough? Is this much crying normal? How do I know when she is really sick? This hefty, 671-page guide to your baby's first year is brought to you by the creators of the bestselling What to Expect When You're Expecting. The three authors, all mothers themselves, are calm, clear, and encouraging as they tackle the first year of child-rearing, month by month. The easy-to-absorb, chronological format includes sections such as "What Your Baby May Be Doing," "What You Can Expect at This Month's Checkups," "Feeding Your Baby This Month," "What You May Be Concerned About," and "What It's Important to Know."Part Two addresses special concerns such as illness, first aid do's and don'ts, the low-birthweight baby, the adopted baby, becoming a father, and sibling relationships. You'll also find discussions of breastfeeding and bottlefeeding, selecting a physician for the baby, diapers and clothing, safety, and many ways of stimulating the baby's development. The recipes for babies and toddlers in Part Three are useful, as are the recommended home remedies; charts on common childhood illnesses; height and weight; and the thorough index. (A particular strength of the book is the authors' careful attention to diet and nutrition for both mother and baby, incorporating the American Academy of Pediatrics' latest recommendations on infant nutrition.) While some of the authors' perspectives are controversial (such as whether to let your baby "cry it out" or not), this book remains one of the most comprehensive resources for new parents as they toddle through their baby's first year.
