A really good book

I have read other comments on this book that say that the information is incorrect. For instance, one individual said the months did not line up with the weeks. The month is in regard to the month that the child is in. So for the first week, it is month 1 because it is the child's first month. You just have to be intelligent enough to figure it out. Also, every doctor has different advice on infants. I did not take everything that the book said to heart. I asked my doctor when I had questions. The book is just a guide on general information. I found it to be exciting to read each week and I do not see anything horrible about this book that others have mentioned.

The greatest book for a new Mom!

This book was instrumental for my husband and myself as new parents! Our son was born on a Friday, so every Friday, we read that weeks chapter together! Great bonding time for the three of us as well as some abundant information and outlooks for the next weeks development! This is the book that I give at baby showers now with a note about how we used it and how great it is!

Use this book as a guide, not the bible!

I really enjoyed this book because I like to have a sort of guide as to where my son should be, give or take. Also, for suggestions on games to play with him or things to do to help him develop certain skills that are pertinent for that time frame. I learned early on to not take this book, or any, as a sort of "bible".

My son was pretty much always a few weeks behind what they were saying he "should" be doing. And even though they give you a range in this book- babies that are on the high end of achievement and babies on the low, my son was still often past the low end. And he's perfectly fine and normal. Yet, this book did sort of worry me at times that maybe he was slow or behind for a reason. For that, I give it less stars. BUT, I can't complain too much, and neither can most buyers, because if you did buy this book looking to see where your child should be, to compare them, than you KNEW what you were buying. You, like I, knew that every child was different, but if you still bought the book, what did you expect? It's pretty clear by the title and this series what this is about. That being said, if you are a worrysome mom, or you don't want to compare your child, do NOT get this book. It isn't for you.

With all that being said, overall I still enjoyed the book. There was more than just what the baby should be doing, but also health info, games to play, common questions etc. I personally also enjoyed the Pregnancy Week by Week book, which is why I also got this one. Also, for the price, you are getting quite a lot of book, there is a LOT of information in here. As for the circumcision info, I can't say because my son is circ. However it is very frightening to think that there is falso info like that in this book, I am hoping that a newer updated version might be in the works??

Overall, I'd say think about what you want in an infant book and decide if this book is for you. I personally also enjoyed Your Baby's First Year by the AAP and Dr. Spock's book. And if you're breastfeeding, you must get BESTfeeding.
