Is our baby eating enough? Is this much crying normal? How do I know when she is really sick? This hefty, 671-page guide to your baby's first year is brought to you by the creators of the bestselling What to Expect When You're Expecting. The three authors, all mothers themselves, are calm, clear, and encouraging as they tackle the first year of child-rearing, month by month. The easy-to-absorb, chronological format includes sections such as "What Your Baby May Be Doing," "What You Can Expect at This Month's Checkups," "Feeding Your Baby This Month," "What You May Be Concerned About," and "What It's Important to Know."
Part Two addresses special concerns such as illness, first aid do's and don'ts, the low-birthweight baby, the adopted baby, becoming a father, and sibling relationships. You'll also find discussions of breastfeeding and bottlefeeding, selecting a physician for the baby, diapers and clothing, safety, and many ways of stimulating the baby's development. The recipes for babies and toddlers in Part Three are useful, as are the recommended home remedies; charts on common childhood illnesses; height and weight; and the thorough index. (A particular strength of the book is the authors' careful attention to diet and nutrition for both mother and baby, incorporating the American Academy of Pediatrics' latest recommendations on infant nutrition.) While some of the authors' perspectives are controversial (such as whether to let your baby "cry it out" or not), this book remains one of the most comprehensive resources for new parents as they toddle through their baby's first year.

- Ok, but MUCH better books out there.
- This book is OK. I don't particularly care for how it's organized (by age, not by topic), and found that "BABY 411" is my real go-to book once my baby was born More reviews
- I Totally Use It.
- I use this book all the time for questions I have. It calms me down when I'm freaking out about something and about to take my kids to the doctor. It's a must have. More reviews
- Different item sold than what was stated
- Seller stated that it was the second edition and sent us the first and older edition and told us in a note that it was the same information as the second edition. If I would have known this I would have not purchased it and would have purchased what I wanted, which was the newest edition, the second edition. More reviews
- Ridiculous nursing information
- I was so-so on this book from the beginning. I found my son was always doing things a few months in advance according to it ... so the section on his age was usually useful a few months ago. I tended to read ahead a bit cause of that.. and still it was just so-so. When I got to the section in 11 months that pretty much says your baby… More reviews
