Book Reviews of Caring for Your Baby and Young Child, 5th Edition: Birth to Age 5 (Shelov, Caring for your Baby and Young Child, Birth to Age 5)
Book Review: THE authoritative text on caring for your baby and young child.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book when I left my job as a pediatric registered nurse to become a full-time nanny. I currently care full-time for a newborn and a 2 year old, and have found this book an excellent augmentation to my experience as a pediatric RN. It gives great, detailed information on everything from bathing your infant to potty-training your toddler. It touches on physical development and care, emotional needs, and developmental milestones. It is the perfect, all-in-one, go-to book for anyone responsible for caring for babies and young children. It is an invaluable resource that I have referred to again and again. If you only buy one book on childcare and development, this should be it. I give it a big two thumbs up from the perspective of both a children's nurse, a nanny, and a parent.
