### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Recommended by the pediatrician at the hospital
  

*by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2013*

This is a great reference book...one that you can actually read cover-to-cover if you really want to.  The book was actually recommended to us by the pediatrician at the hospital; he suggested it would answer many questions and at the price point he couldn't figure out how the (many) authors could make money from it.  At almost 1,000 pages I can understand his point!It is worth noting that this book is published by The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and well over 100 pediatricians have contributed to it.  It also includes AAP's opinions on public policies, which unlike some reviewers here I appreciated.  If I'm receiving advice, the additional opinions help clarify where that advice is coming from.  Not every one will agree with the AAP's opinions, but I think it's important for people to at least be aware of them.  Worst case, skip the clearly highlighted boxes!Note that the kindle version lacks many of the illustrations contained in the book.I also purchased 
  
Baby 411: Clear Answers & Smart Advice For Your Baby's First Year (Paperback)







  
  
    , and the two books go rather well together.  Baby 411 is a lot more approachable and often has a quick answer.  Caring for Your Baby and Young Child typically has more exhaustive discussions (and also covers the first five years of life).  If you had to pick one book from these two, it's a surprisingly difficult choice...but at least there's no wrong choice!

    Excellent Book for Novices
  

*by L***7 on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2014*

I found this book absolutely invaluable when I had my children.  Where I grew up children did not get half of the illnesses more commonplace today in the US.  There were things in there I never heard of,  "Kawasaki Disease" for example, that a doctor told me my son was at risk for, even though he is not Asian.  I have used this book over the last 7 years for my two children, and highly recommend it for anyone without a mom or sibling to call for help (like me).  It was given to me by my pediatric doctor friend, and this is one of the best gifts ever!  And I found it very informative for what is considered normal development.  Let's face it, doctors have had over 100yrs to research babies, and there is no need to try to reinvent the wheel if you do not have valid medical knowledge from a medical school.  Besides, who has the time with two screaming babies to feed, clothe, bathe, nurture, etc!

    Invaluable for a new parent
  

*by E***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2013*

This book begins with labor and delivery, and contains a large section on baby's first days.  We referred to it countless times in those first few weeks.  The information is credible, clear, and consistent.  For each age, it reviews milestones, suggests age-appropriate activities, and red flags for health or developmental issues.  I very much appreciated that it contained information on induction and bottle feeding that was factually-based and devoid of hype or judgement.  Being induced before my due date for medical reasons, I found it extremely difficult (and frustrating) to find information online or in other resources about what to expect from the various procedures.  One of the smartest things I did was read that section the day before being ordered by my doctor to head to the hospital.  This book has continued to be useful and interesting as our baby grows and I particularly like that it explains the reasoning behind various American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations.  This book is now a standard part of every baby shower gift I give.
