Summary: Much better books are out there.
Comment: If you want to breastfeed then do NOT but this book. It often gives poor advice that will sabotage your breastfeeding relationship.
Also if you plan on attachment parenting (co-sleeping, baby wearing and responding to your child's needs in general) this is NOT the book for you. As some others have mentioned there was a good deal of information about Cry it Out to get baby to sleep. There is no reason for this and there are much gentler methods for getting baby to sleep. Not to mention that frequent night waking is common and the way that babies were designed
Better choices would be the Dr. Sears books among others.
I also felt that like the other "What to Expect Books" this book was alarmist in nature and does not allow for individual differences of children.

Summary: a good book

Summary: Its a Baby Handbook
Comment: I bought this book, as a gift for my sister in law. I used this book as a reference when my son was a baby and it answered all by questions. Great book very useful.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great condition, very inexpensive, choose standard shipment!
Comment: The book arrived in nearly perfect condition, and it was practically free. However, I paid for expedited shipment, which was a waste of money because they use the Standard mail. The book arrived on the 9th day, this is not an expedited service in my mind, so I recommend paying for standard shipment.

Summary: An invaluable reference
Comment: My husband got me this book just before our son was born and I must admit that I thought I would never crack the cover. After a couple of months with a newborn, however, I opened it up and started reading. I only wish I had started sooner!! Yes, this book addresses some controversial childrearing techniques (eg, crying it out, co-sleeping), but I don't think that it is extremely biased toward one side or the other any more than most of the pediatricians I know (and I work in a hospital). This book is great for answering those child-rearing questions between the well baby check-ups--questions like "Why has my baby suddenly stopped soiling his diaper 5 times a day?" or "When should I start my baby on finger foods?" It also has some great information on the symptoms of common ailments so that you know what to look for, how to treat it and when you should call the doctor.
Let's face it...no book about raising a child is going to be perfect for every parent, but this one is definitely a good one to have around.
