The Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby from Birth to Age Two (Revised and Updated Edition)

Little, Brown and Company, 2003

Only baby book you'll need
This IS the best baby book you could ever get yourself. With kid #2 it's still my bible. If you want to be an informed parent and are willing to choose the very best approach to child rearing (not always the easiest!), but the most mindful approach of the very best interest of your child, then this will be your favorite baby book too. And Dr. Sears doesn't disregard an individual's choice ...

The Baby Sleep Book: The Complete Guide to a Good Night's Rest for the Whole Family (Sears Parenting Library)

William Sears, Martha Sears, ..., 2005

Attachment parenting fan
I have always been a fan of Dr. Sears. I was really excited to find his book on how to soothe your baby to sleep. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to read the book due to lack of time. I have two kids and at a age when they need my attention. I am sure I will love his advice because it coincides with mine about 99 % of the time. I always recommend Dr. Sears books. However, ...

Finally a book that reflects our approach to food!
I was given this book and didn't know what to expect. I started reading and couldn't put it down because it was a reflection of our approach to eating - whole/real foods with a minimum amount of processed items. I agree that eating healthy is an INVESTMENT and a balancing act. It may cost more to buy wild fish and mostly organic food but if you look in the average shopper's cart the amount of ...

The Attachment Parenting Book : A Commonsense Guide to Understanding and Nurturing Your Baby

Little, Brown and Company, 2001

Great book
I happen to love this book although I think it is so sad that it ever had to be written at all. My husband is luckily from another culture and if it had not been for his support I would have probably have listened to my parents, doctors, and the majority of mothers that I have met and done to whole cry it out, making my infant adhere to a strict, un-flexible schedule, and not holding thing. My ...

What Baby Needs (Sears Children Library)

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2001

A must-have for a breastfeeding family with an older sibling
This book is, in my opinion, an absolute must-have and perfect gift for any family who plans to breastfeed, especially if practicing other forms of attachment parenting, like babywearing or co-sleeping. This book makes me tear up every single time I have read it, to myself or my daughter. It's just superbly done. The text just assumes that baby will be breastfed, or acknowledges the ...

The Breastfeeding Book: Everything You Need to Know About Nursing Your Child from Birth Through Weaning

Martha Sears, William Sears

Little, Brown and Company, 2000

Excellent and worth having on its own...
Keep this reference book handy while you log all those early days continuous nursing and you will absolutely learn some things you need to know. I was able to cure my painful latch on problems and my sore nipples using the advice in this book. I did not realize how interconnected the whole system really is and had received amazingly bad advice from friends, family and even a pediatrician. My ...

The Fussy Baby Book : Parenting Your High-Need Child From Birth to Age Five

46 reviews
William Sears, Martha Sears

Little, Brown and Company, 1996

I had one High Needs baby and one Colic Baby
"High Needs" and "Colic" are very different. If you are going to buy this book, understand that colic babies get over their colic and then they are usually "normal" babies. High Needs babies usually don't have colic, they are just needy ALL the time. Mine hated the swing, the stroller, the car seat, the crib, everything that wasn't me holding him ~ facing out so he can see the world. I ...

Little, Brown and Company, 1995

The Discipline Book-The best book I ever bought~~
This book is wonderful, I started out with the Baby Book by Dr. Sears and it is known as the "Baby Bible" in our house, anything we had a question about we could find the answer in that book, it's a must have for any first time mom! The discipline book has not let me down. I was struggling with how to handle some situations when my daughter transitioned into toddler hood and this book has ...

Little, Brown and Company, 2004

Very good guide
A very good guide to help with the challenges of having a preemie. Straight talk, but doesn't dwell on the negative.

The Birth Book: Everything You Need to Know to Have a Safe and Satisfying Birth (Sears Parenting Library)

132 reviews

Little, Brown and Company, 1994

a Must Read
I read several books throughout my first pregnancy, and found this one to be the most informative. There is a chapter on relaxation during the labor process (how to focus on keeping your muscles relaxed during contractions so your uterus doesn't have to fight against them) that I found to be VERY helpful. A very educational book that I highly recommend.

Excellent Book!
I really am enjoying this book by Martha Sears, just as I have the other Sears books. What a wonderful way to help encourage our children to become the most successful people they can be!

The Pregnancy Book: A Month-By-Month Guide

William Sears, Martha Sears, ...

Little Brown & Co (T), 1997

the BEST pregnancy book, by far
This book helped me both enjoy and understand my pregnancy. Each time I hit the first day of each month of my pregnancy, I would sit down and read that month's chapter. There were times when I felt like I was reading an auto-biography! The authors really understand what pregnant mothers are going through. It gave me peace of mind about what was happening. I cannot say enough good things about ...

The Fussy Baby How to Bring Out the Best in Your High-Need Child (Sears, William, Growing Family Series.)

13 reviews
William Sears, Martha Sears

La Leche League International, 2002

Good common sense
This book gave me comfort that there are other babies out there like mine (because none of my friends' or neighbors' babies are) and that there is nothing wrong with my baby or with me. It also confirmed what I figured was just common sense - follow your instincts and pay attention to your baby's cues. It's been a long road but now we're at 5 1/2 months and her temperament is dramatically ...

Harvard Common Press, 2005

Wonderful shower gift or gift for new mom!
A friend of mine gave me this cute little book shortly after I had my first baby, and I have really enjoyed dipping into it for short shots of gentle wisdom, inspiration, and advice. It's perfect for a new mom because the chapters are informative but really short--no huge time commitment required. There are 25 chapters--each with a title that's a "thing" that's helpful for moms to realize, like ...

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2002

shows nursing and co-sleeping
Unlike most books, this book pictures a mother nuring her baby and a co-sleeper. I am not fond of the cartoon illustrations, but they are not terrible (I usually prefer photos instead). My 19 mo. old daughter loves this book.

B&H Publishing Group, 1997

Worth The Purchase
I enjoyed reading parts of the book. Very extensive and detailed. It showed the viewpoints of what a doctor would suggest and what the Lord suggests. In addition, it gives you bible verses and suggested prayers. It has made me more focused to be an effective Christian parent.

Woodbine House, 2007

Christmas gift
'Gifts' is the book I will give to my doctor, my OBGYN, my daughters' pediatrician with the money we save by eating more simply this Advent. Our middle daughter has Down Syndrome and the 63 chapters by mothers of children with Down Syndrome continually resonated with my experiences. Last year my father gave me the gift of giving someone else a goat in a poor country through Heifer ...

This is a great book for K-3 kids to teach them the basics of good nutrition. Dr. Sears is GREAT!

Baby on the Way (Sears Children Library)

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2001

Excellent for curious big siblings
When our 3 year old started asking how baby was going to get here, and our lame answers like "at the hospital" weren't good enough, my husband and I didn't know what to do! We were looking for a book that explained the process in a way he could understand, without too much or too little detail. This book arrived as a present, and it was perfect! The story is warm, and has optional sections that ...
