Your baby is sick, hurt, or acting strangely, and the doctor won't be in until tomorrow. How can you find out what to do when your healthcare professionals are unreachable? You may only need to go as far as your bookshelf. The revised edition of Caring for Your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5 (the American Academy of Pediatrics' reference book for infancy through preschool), provides a wealth of authoritative child-care information in an easy-to-use format. The first half of this hefty text serves as a comprehensive parenting manual, and includes a month-by-month guide to the first year, nutritional information, basic care instructions, and physical, emotional, and social developmental milestones for children up to 5 years old. While the American Academy of Pediatrics represents the mainstream child-rearing philosophies embraced by thousands of baby doctors, it does not reflect the entire gamut of child-rearing theory. (There's no discussion, for instance, of breast-feeding past the first year or co-sleeping.) The second half of the book includes a thorough, easy-to-navigate emergency first-aid section, plus detailed information about childhood illnesses, immunization schedules and side effects, and family structures, as well as a discussion of behavioral issues. Caring for Your Baby and Young Child is useful, sensible, and carefully researched, and makes a trustworthy addition to any parent's bookshelf. --Ericka Lutz Product Description: Drawing on the contributions and practical wisdom of more than seventy pediatric specialists and a six-member AAP review board, this invaluable book provides sound, reassuring advice on child rearing, plus the latest scientific information you need to know to safeguard your child's most precious asset: his or her health. Caring for Your Baby and Child is actually two volumes in one. The first half offers a comprehensive parenting manual. Written in a warm accessible style and illustrated with more than 300 helpful drawings, the manual covers a wide range of topics, from preparing for childbirth and choosing a pediatrician to bonding and basic child care, and just about every other concern or question that parents have. Detailed, accurate, and up-to-date, Caring for Your Baby and Child is an essential child-care resource for all parents who want to provide the very best care for their children--and the one guide both parents and pediatricians can safely trust. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Solid reference book but not exactly a page-turnerThis book is filled with good, scientifically-researched advice on your baby's health. It does, however, read like a reference book, and it is often as exciting as reading a dictionary. My personal preference was to read Baby 411 as sort of an overall guide, then refer to this book as issues pop up. In other words, use it just like a dictionary! Rating:  - Wonderful bookIt's like the Bible for new Moms...I look at it every day for something or other! Rating: - Great reference book for parentsThis book is really my go-to-book every time I have a question or to decide whether or not to call our pediatrician. It also have things on development, discipline, family life, etc... It has great advice on potty training or establishing a sleep routine for example which have proven very useful for new parents! Rating: - excellent bookI have purchased at least 10 copies of this book over the years. My pediatrician recommended this book to me 12 years ago when my son was born, and I used it extensively. I referred to it again when my daughter was born 3 years later. I routinely give it as a baby shower gift. It is an excellent reference and covers everything you'd want to know about babies! Rating: - Very Informative without being too much informationI have enjoyed this book very much. It is very non-biased and doesn't tell you how to raise your child, more like stuff to look for and if a problem develops, how quickly you should call the doctor.
