 Caring for Your Baby and Young Child,5th Edition November 5, 2009
Mary Beth Chips
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is my standard baby shower gift. I have purchased the previous editions for 2 of my daughters in law and several young mothers that I work with. I have been a pediatric nurse for many years, I looked at many baby and child care books before I chose this particular book. The advice is well researched, practical and is presented in an easy to use format. Many young moms don't have the benefit of living near extended family. This book will help them get through some of the rough spots of child rearing. It provides excellent information on developmental milestones and immunizations.

this was the best baby shower gift i received. it was given to me by a friend of mine who is himself a pediatrician, and it came with other books from the AAP. my husband and i have referenced it MANY times as new parents. this book put our minds at ease more than once, as well as kept us out of doctors' offices and ERs for needless visits. though it shouldn't be used to replace a doctor's advice based on a live assessment of a child, it often gave us a reality check in terms of what was serious and what wasn't. since we realized that new parents have a tendency to be hyper-concerned at times, this was just what the doctor ordered.
A must have for every parent! November 12, 2009

Recommended by our pediatrician, this is a great go-to book for any medical concern a parent may have.
A book I trusted December 17, 2009

This's the book recommended by my pediatrician and I use it as a handbook for any questions on nursing.
Excelent reference book January 1, 2010
Warrior Shopper (Cedar Hills, UT United States)
This is an excellent reference book for any parent with a young child. It is especially helpful in giving useful information when a parent is worried about the health or development of their child. I use it all the time and give it as a gift to my expecting friends.
