A must-have

Great book- I go to this book every time I have a question about anything! FYI- You don't really need the Sears Attachment Parenting book if you have this one- but I'd recommend Our Babies Ourselves and The Continuum Concept for more about raising babies and attachement.

Judgmental

While this book is very informative and quite comprehensive I found a common theme that was judgmental. Almost as if the authors were "guiding" you down one path and if you chose another, well, that was a bad idea.
It wasn't anything major but I found it increasingly annoying.

Other than that the book will tell you almost everything you need to know.

What a great book!

Don't take the last two customer reviews seriously. Obviously they were written by husband & wife who are critical of Dr. Sears' expertise and knowledge. This is the BEST book out there for parenting! Most importantly, it includes 'how to's' and 'what's wrong with my child', etc. This is an encyclopedia on how to raise healthy children. I give this book as gifts to new parents, and they LOVE it!!

Great Book!

Great book. You will find yourself going back to it even when your kids are older. Has great charts for dosages for Tylenol, etc that are based on age and weight. I also recommend James McKenna's book Sleeping with your Baby.

Great all-around guide

I have several baby care books, and this one is my favorite. I did not think it devalues fathers or mothers who work outside the home as some reviewers have suggested. It's a common sense, empowering guide to parenting intuitively. I'm so glad I read this book, so now I know I'm not the only one who can't stand to let a baby cry or takes a baby to the family bed. This book gave the the confidence to follow my own gut when making decisions for my baby, and to ignore well-meaning but misguided advice from others.
