Editorial Review: Product Description: 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 parenting Amazon.com Review: In 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."

 Rating:  - Wonderful bookThis is a wonderful book for complete baby care. I bought it a month before my due date and I wish I had read it before my baby was born (it would have saved a lot of heartaches in the early months). I thought I can reference to it whenever I need, but little did I know there's simply no time for any reading. Now after 10 months, I start to read it and there are so many things I wish I had done differently. The only thing is it's so big and bulky, but with all the information, I guess you just ... Read More Rating:  - Lots of Info, Heavy on the guilt First I will say that Dr. Sears sincerely loves kids (he has 8, I think) and that I really believe that he and his wife think they are giving the best advice available. And, no one can deny that they have a lot of usful information in their books...everything from feeding your infant/toddler, to nighttime issues, to medical issues, and beyond. They also cover the birthing process to a point (and make it clear that they feel anything but a natural birth is bad parenting). They are heavy ... Read More Rating: - finally i'm a "good mother"(wife of Mark)I swear by this book. When I brought my little girl home from the hospital the only way she would sleep was on my chest. (I had a c-section, so I wanted to bond the best I could, and I did not hesitate to let her sleep there). After reading plenty of other books on how to get my girl to sleep on her own, and being called an "accidental parent, by relying on other vices" to get her to sleep, I felt despressed. Every book told me I was not a good mother for letting her rely on me, and "mechanical ... Read More Rating:  - CAUTION NEW PARENTSI was very excited about this book when I first bought it and followed Dr. Sears' advice to the letter. It presents a warm and fuzzy, loving parenting style that greatly appealed to me and echoed many of the tenets of parenting that I believe in. I found the chapters on Developmental Milestones and Nutrition/Introducing Solid Foods to be very valuable and the sketches to be beautiful and hilariously lifelike (hence the 2 stars). The primary complaint that I came across from other user reviews was the amount ... Read More Rating: - informativeI bought this for my son and his wife, who just had their first baby two weeks ago. I have not read it myself, but they have told me repeatedly how they love this book, and are always reading it and learning why their new daughter does some of the things she does, and what is normal, etc. It appears to be a very useful book, and very thorough.
