Amazon.com Review:
In their excellent (and hefty) resource guide, The BabyBook, attachment parenting specialists William Sears and MarthaSears have provided new parents with their approach to every aspect ofbaby care basics, from newborns to toddlers. Attachment parenting is agentle, reasonable approach to parenting that stresses bonding withyour baby, responding to her cues, breastfeeding, 'wearing'your baby, and sharing sleep with your child. For those parents whoworry about negative effects of this attention, the Sears say,'Spoiling is what happens when you leave something (or someperson) alone on the shelf--it spoils.'

Rating:  - Baby Encyclopedia
By the title of my review you can tell I refer to this book as my baby encyclopedia!It's great.Lots of helpful information for the first years of life.Information is easy to find.I have also read, but do not own yet, the fussy baby book and I really liked that book too.I realized I was doing attachment parenting and didn't even know it!

Rating: - Fabulous gift for a first time mom!
The Baby Book is the perfect gift for a first-time mom, pregnant friend, or any new family. It is written with a light, gentle and positive tone, but is eye-opening at the same time. On the surface, it seems to be a "baby guide" like so many others on the market, but The Baby Book is different.
Dr. Sears and his family coined the term "Attachment Parenting," which is a philosophy of parenting that embraces instinctual bonding behaviors like breastfeeding, babywearing and cosleeping. If ... Read More
