Summary: Very happy with this book
Comment: I received this book as a gift from my family Doctor when I had my son, and I have been very pleased with it and refer to it often. I find the authors of the book to present very unbiased views of some "hot" issues, such as circumsision, co-sleeping, "crying it out", and breast vs. bottle. I have not felt that the authors try to sway you one way or another (like other baby books do), but present the pros and cons of each issue and left me, the parent, to make my own informed decisions. And this book never made me feel like my personal choices were the "wrong" choices.
The back section very clearly charts common illnesses and symptoms, which I appreciate. This book goes month by month, which made me feel more confident as a first time mother.
My only complaint with this book is that often, when I look up my desired topic in the index, I'm surprised at what month I find the answer, and it's usually not the month my son is in.
Overall, I have found this book to be a valuable asset, and the information presented in the book often is in agreement with my son's Doctor. Because any book you buy should only be used as a guide, and not to take the place of your own intuition or your Doctor's recommendations, I feel this book is a good resource.

Summary: A Great Reference Guide.. give it a chance
Comment: A very good book for quick reference. It seems like every question that my husband and I have had, has been found pretty quickly in the book. A lot of the following give terrible reviews especially when it comes to breastfeeding. I certainly don't agree with them. I breastfed my first for 1 year and I'm planning on breastfeeding by 10 1/2 month old for another couple of months. Believe me, I agree whole-heartedly that breastfeeding is the absolute best for your baby, and I did not find this book opposed to it at all. Don't read this book from cover to cover while your pregnant.. it will scare you.. but read it month by month as your baby grows. Or, just get it off the shelf when a question comes up.. you're sure to find the answer. This book is not a bible, but it sure is a helpful guide. I would highly recommend it for any new mother! Have fun and welcome to the most precious honor ever to be given.. motherhood!

Summary: Too much reading for new mom
Comment: I prefer the week by week book instead of the q and a format of this book. I find myself using it as a reference tool sometimes, but have barely used it! The week by week book Dr. Curtis was much more informational. See rating on that book.
