- Great book as long as you take everything with a grain of salt
This book does back attachment parenting.I didn't plan on practicing it necessarily, but it did work out for me.I slept with our baby, because that is where we all slept best.I wore my baby to sleep, because that was what worked.I breastfed, because I wanted the best for my baby, not because of what I read in one book. However, I had no problem supplementing with formula early on to make sure she was getting enough to eat. That said, the basics in this book are awesome.The developmental ... Read More
Rating: - Get this one.
If you're a first time mom--or dad--this is the book to get. It covers virtually everything you need to know up until two years. I felt pretty clueless before I read this book and then, afterwards, felt better and calmer about the whole situtation. Don't be intimated by it's size. It's pretty big but very comphrensive. In conjunction with this one, I also recommend The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night to help with those sleepless nights!!
