Reassuring and Valuable Advice --

"Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care" is an essential resource for parents. 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. ( )

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! ( )

One of the oldies but goodies, his recommendations are still rock solid in my opinion. ( )

The Most Trusted Handbook Completely Updated for the 90's.

Generations of parents have relied on Dr. Spock's classic bestseller Baby and Child Care. It is still THE source book, the most authoritative and reliable guide for parents. Collaborating with pediatrician and child psychiatrist Dr. Michael B Rothenberg, Dr. Spock has updated his work to meet the changes and challenges of the 1990s. Reorganized for faster and easier reference, with many new and expanded sections, the book includes the latest advice and information on such topics as:
- breast-feeding: the newest approaches, with proven techniques for working mothers
- Caesarean section
- single parenting, remarriage and "blended" families
- talking to your child about sex, contraception, homosexuality, alcohol and drug abuse, AIDS
- working and parenting
- common medical questions and answers about whooping cough vaccine, diaper rash, infant diarrhea, scoliosis, and acne
- travelling with children
- immunization schedules, vitamins and diet recommendations
All Dr. Spock's invaluable, time-tested advice is here, including the most current medical practices and advances in child care. Written for parents of the '90s, this essential and classic work will help them face their many challenges and responsibilities with new confidence and joy.
