Summary: amreican academy of pediatrics can't be wrong!
Comment: + very well written book
+ tells you in detail, by age group the milestones you & your baby will be facing
+ everything you need to know about raising baby-includes emotional & psychological development as well as physical
+ tells you exactly where the AAP stands on each issue
+ sections on mommy & daddy's emotions as well as baby
+ this book is more than just a text book, it nurtures a nervous first-time parent and assures me that not EVERYTHING i do is wrong!
+ some things are just common sense, but it makes me feel better to read this and feel more confident
+ rules out all of those "old wives tales"
when i first discovered that i was pregnant, i ran out and got almost every pregnancy book and every baby book in print! my advice to any first-time parents and expecting parents is: no library is complete without these 4 books:
"what to expect when you're expecting"
"what to expect the 1st year"
"AAP's how to care for your baby & young child-birth to age 5"
"AAP's guide to your child's symptoms"

Summary: FACTUAL, COMPLETE AND EXTREMELY HELPFUL!
Comment: How I wish this wonderful, complete reference book had been available when my three daughters were little ones. Now all three are grown adults, and two have children of their own. This is a terrific book, and one which will be highly recommended to those encountering the wonders, and sometimes fearful experiences, of parenthood.
What is so impressive about this particular book is the way it is organized and "complete" - a one stop shop for advice. The fact the advice comes from a sound and reliable source is definitely another huge plus. There are many books available in the marketplace on child care and development but often they contain information based on personal opinion and not necessarily sound and qualified expertise. This book excells in professional and qualified opinions. The extensive content covers a w-i-d-e range of topics: nutrition; basic child care; physical, emotional and social development; first aid and common illnesses; family structures; behaviour issues, etc. The presentation style is easy to read, factual, and outlines the information in such a way that it is practical but does not instill undue fear and anxiety into the parent(s). I believe every parent goes through that stage when we tend to automatically assume the worst possible illness is going to befell our child only to discover, after a visit to our family physician, our fears were totally unfounded. It is human nature to react that way because we love our children and want to keep them safe and healthy. Whether a child has a common cold or an ear infection, we tend to lose as much sleep as the child, simply out of concern and worry. This unnerving experience is magnified if this happens to be your first child. Knowing what I know now, both as a parent and in the field of psychology, if anyone asked me for a book on a child's first formative years, this would be one of the first I would recommend, and it certainly is worth the price.

Summary: Great mix of pediatric and parenting information
Comment: This book is much more than a medical reference book. It includes a lot of helpful guidance on parenting your child through the first five years of life. This is one of the most used books in my parenting library. Every parent should own a copy.
