Summary: Good, practical information
I agree that this book has an agenda and does not acknowledge some of the newer theories on parenting. However, it does contain some very good, practical advice on how to care for a newborn. The section on breast-feeding, for example, is quite helpful. For the price, you certainly can't go wrong with this book.

Summary: Just okay
Published about 10 years ago. The information is okay, but I wish I had bought something more recent.

Summary: Great reference
Great reference, but difficult and dry to read. I bought a few baby books for my first child and I liked "Baby 411" much better.

Written on February 27, 2008
Summary: SO helpful for first-time parents!
I received this book as a gift from my first child's pediatrician. It saved me - and it had little to do with the advice it offered on parenting. Little did I know, I was suffering from post-partum depression, and there is an incredibly helpful section in this book that I read over and over again. It helped me to maintain my sanity during a very confusing time.

One of the things I like about this book is that it comes directly from the American Academy of Pediatrics, so the content is very fact-based rather than based on opinions or child-rearing method preferences.

However, the reason I've given the book only 4 stars rather than 5 is that I've found over the years that the AAP changes its opinions quite a lot on certain topics (vaccinations, circumcision, etc). In just the 3.5 years between my 2 kids, the AAP has issued varying opinions on the same topics, so I'm not sure this book would be consistently accurate across time.

All-in-all, this book is a great reference, and will have at least a basic answer to almost any first-time parenting question.

Summary: So glad I have this book
It is very in depth, provides great, easy-to-process information and pretty much has answered any questions I've had so far. It written informatively but not preachy and gives you what you want to know without giving too much or too little info. I think this should be a staple purchase for any new parent.
