 Rating 4   Written on December 10, 2007
   Summary: Great health advice, sprinkled with biased political rhetoric
I have found the health care related advice in this book to be an absolute God-send. The multitude of Dr's that participated in the creation of this book provide an expansive, yet clear and concise guide to caring for, understanding the development of and handling emergencies involving your baby. From what to expect immediately preceding and during birth, on through the end of the first year, you will find practical advice on what to expect and how to care for your baby. Common illness, disease and emergencies are covered as well as what you can expect to be able to cope with on your own, and what situations can't be coped with on your own. While my overall rating is very high, I want everyone that reads my review to understand that there are some very strong opinions stated as fact, particularly in regards to politics. One non-political issue that concerned my wife and I, is that my wife does not breast-feed. This is due to a few very personal issues and with the consensus and support of Doctors and Nurses, yet we felt brow-beat, derided and harangued for not breast feeding thanks to the scolding breast-feeding rhetoric throughout the book. Additionally, they delve into opining about gun control among other issues, all of which are not supported by any statistical reference. I was frustrated that such a good work that utilizes study after study and centuries of medical experience to provide outstanding health care advice would resort to baseless sensationalism to try and scare parents into compliance with their ideas in areas unrelated to health care. A hesitant 4/5 stars that could easily be 5/5 were the rhetoric deleted.

   Summary: Even the Doctor recommend this...
I purchased this as a gift and as it turned out, it was a duplicate. She received one from her doctor. He said it was a must have. The book arrived quickly and was in great shape. Very good experience.

   Summary: What you should EXPECT
A very through, all-inclusive book. No scare stories, just teh facts---which is what we moms need.....beats the diapers off of the What to Expect book

 Rating 1   Written on September 30, 2007
   Summary: Some common sense, but much dangerous information sprinkled with politics
It's unfortunate that the American Academy of Pediatrics would use this book to push their political agendas about gun control. On page 389 it says

"The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly supports gun control legislation. We believe that handguns, deadly air guns, and assault weapons should be banned. Until handguns are banned, we recommend that handgun ammunition be regulateed, that restrictions be placed on handgun ownership, and the the number of privately owned handguns be reduced."

People who are buying this book are looking for baby advice, not political garbage. It's sad that AAP would stoop so low to include comments such as this.

They also make dangerous recommendations about how to put your child in the car seat on page 411:

"Place a small rolled up diaper or receiving blanket bewteen the crotch strap and your baby to prevent his lower body from sliding too far forward."

This is contrary to manufacturer's recommendations with car seats and any seat that uses a seat belt. In an accident the rolled up diaper/blanket would compress and cause the belts to be too loose, potentially causing additional injury or even allow the baby to come out of the belts/seat altogether.
