Book Reviews of Your Baby's First Year (Second Edition)

Book Review: one of the best books you can buy, good advices but small size to read
Summary: 4 Stars

this was my second option but i think i liked the "what to expect the first year" book better. this book is filled with a lot of good information. however, don't expect a large book in size. it is small in size, like a pocket book. this does metter if you want to see the picture details etc. i would recommend this book as a supplement if you disregard it size.

Book Review: Good, practical information
Summary: 4 Stars

I agree that this book has an agenda and does not acknowledge some of the newer theories on parenting. However, it does contain some very good, practical advice on how to care for a newborn. The section on breast-feeding, for example, is quite helpful. For the price, you certainly can't go wrong with this book.

Book Review: Just okay
Summary: 3 Stars

Published about 10 years ago. The information is okay, but I wish I had bought something more recent.

Book Review: Great reference
Summary: 3 Stars

Great reference, but difficult and dry to read. I bought a few baby books for my first child and I liked "Baby 411" much better.

Book Review: SO helpful for first-time parents!
Summary: 4 Stars

I received this book as a gift from my first child's pediatrician. It saved me - and it had little to do with the advice it offered on parenting. Little did I know, I was suffering from post-partum depression, and there is an incredibly helpful section in this book that I read over and over again. It helped me to maintain my sanity during a very confusing time.

One of the things I like about this book is that it comes directly from the American Academy of Pediatrics, so the content is very fact-based rather than based on opinions or child-rearing method preferences.

However, the reason I've given the book only 4 stars rather than 5 is that I've found over the years that the AAP changes its opinions quite a lot on certain topics (vaccinations, circumcision, etc). In just the 3.5 years between my 2 kids, the AAP has issued varying opinions on the same topics, so I'm not sure this book would be consistently accurate across time.

All-in-all, this book is a great reference, and will have at least a basic answer to almost any first-time parenting question.
