The Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby Review

A friend bought us this book after the birth of my first child. It was one of my favorite presents. It is a wonderful guide for all first time parents. It covers everything from nutrition to developmental milestones to viruses. I dont know how I would have gotten through the first 6 months post partum without it.

The book is based around the philosophy of attached parenting. I have to say that the first 30 or so pages freaked me out a bit-- pushed breastfeeding and shared sleeping arrangements a little too far for me. Once I got over that, I realized the real value in the book. They actually have a lot of tips and references that prove to be invaluable. And, that although I dont buy everything that they say, I definitely believe in most of it.

This is a great reference guide for all parents. A must have in my book!
