   Summary: Couldn't have survived without out it!
Well, maybe I could have, but the pediatrician's office would have been inundated with my calls. This book was an excellent reference guide for me during my first child's first year. Hiccups, rashes, what to expect (physically/developmentally/emotionally) at month 3 - it seemed to cover every question.

   Summary: Not so great
I found this book to be old fashioned in some of its info. Buy Baby 411 instead.

 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
