Product Description:

THE BABY BOOK focuses on the essential needs of babies - eating, sleeping, development, health and comfort- as it addresses the questions of greatest concerns to today's parents. The Sears present a practical, contemporary approach to parenting that reflects the way we live today. They offer the basic guidance and inspiration one needs to develop the parenting style that best suits carer and baby.
Amazon.com Review:
In their excellent (and hefty) resource guide, The Baby Book, attachment parenting specialists William Sears and Martha Sears have provided new parents with their approach to every aspect of baby care basics, from newborns to toddlers. Attachment parenting is a gentle, reasonable approach to parenting that stresses bonding with your baby, responding to her cues, breastfeeding, "wearing" your baby, and sharing sleep with your child. For those parents who worry about negative effects of this attention, the Sears say, "Spoiling is what happens when you leave something (or some person) alone on the shelf--it spoils."

I love this book! It is informative and down to earth. I read it cover to cover with my first child, and now I am re-reading it with my second child. I give this book as a gift to my friends who are new Moms. I have found this book to be a most useful resource!

But as a book, it is fascinating reading and it gives us many news aspects on how to interact, communicate and handle our forthcoming baby.

This book has been very helpful with answers to several questions. However, parents have to remember that even the Sears' are human beings and can't know everything--in particular YOUR baby.
For example, I love the idea of babywearing, but our baby girl hated the sling until about four months old (and I even bought the Dr. Sears model!). She became happier in it around five months; and now at almost seven months, she's at the point that I can wear her around when she's tired and she ... Read More
