Amazon.com Review:
It's Sunday after dark. Your baby is sick, hurt, or actingstrangely, and the doctor won't be in until tomorrow. How can you findout what to do when your healthcare professionals are unreachable? Youmay only need to go as far as your bookshelf. The revised edition ofCaring for Your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5 (theAmerican Academy of Pediatrics' reference book for infancy throughpreschool), provides a wealth of authoritative child-care informationin an easy-to-use format.
The first half of this hefty text serves as a comprehensive parentingmanual, and includes a month-by-month guide to the first year,nutritional information, basic care instructions, and physical,emotional, and social developmental milestones for children up to 5years old. While the American Academy of Pediatrics represents themainstream child-rearing philosophies embraced by thousands of babydoctors, it does not reflect the entire gamut of child-rearingtheory. (There's no discussion, for instance, of breast-feeding pastthe first year or co-sleeping.) The second half of the book includes athorough, easy-to-navigate emergency first-aid section, plus detailedinformation about childhood illnesses, immunization schedules and sideeffects, and family structures, as well as a discussion of behavioralissues. Caring for Your Baby and Young Child is useful,sensible, and carefully researched, and makes a trustworthy additionto any parent's bookshelf. --Ericka Lutz
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Solid reference book but not exactly a page-turner
This book is filled with good, scientifically-researched advice on your baby's health.It does, however, read like a reference book, and it is often as exciting as reading a dictionary.
My personal preference was to read Baby 411 as sort of an overall guide, then refer to this book as issues pop up.In other words, use it just like a dictionary!
Rating:  - Wonderful book
It's like the Bible for new Moms...I look at it every day for something or other!
Rating: - Great reference book for parents
This book is really my go-to-book every time I have a question or to decide whether or not to call our pediatrician. It also have things on development, discipline, family life, etc... It has great advice on potty training or establishing a sleep routine for example which have proven very useful for new parents!
Rating: - excellent book
I have purchased at least 10 copies of this book over the years.My pediatrician recommended this book to me 12 years ago when my son was born, and I used it extensively.I referred to it again when my daughter was born 3 years later.I routinely give it as a baby shower gift.It is an excellent reference and covers everything you'd want to know about babies!
Rating: - Very Informative without being too much information
I have enjoyed this book very much.It is very non-biased and doesn't tell you how to raise your child, more like stuff to look for and if a problem develops, how quickly you should call the doctor.
