I had originally checked out this book through our local library and from reading it, decided we would definitely need it on hand as our little guy grew through his first year. It is very comprehensive and covers aspects of baby care that I would not have even thought of! It is a very easy read with larger print and lots of pictures to illustrate the current discussion.

I checked this book out from the library and had to have one for my daughters.

I found that it have everything we needed to know at a quick look. Pictures were so helpful. For a first time mom and a grandmother to learn and know the answers again,it was great.

Awesome easy to read book. Great information. Especially for first time moms. I loved it. Would buy it again for sure.

We bought this book a few months before the birth of our son. It definitely helped us reducing the 'fear of the unknown' before birth and was consulted a number of times after birth whenever we were uncertain about things. It is one of the better books on the topic (and there's no shortage of books on the topic).

The Baby Care book is written in clear, understandable language, the science in it appears almost completely up to date (some minor differences with other, newer publications, but that is to be expected) and illustrations are used efficiently throughout the book.

Short: Can recommend it, especially for the first baby.

I purchased this book as a gift for a first time Mom. The book was very informative with many tips and information about caring for a new infant. I would not have thought of many of the suggestions the book contained, and believe it will be a useful tool. I sure wish they had a similar one when I had a child many years ago.

Just enough detail without it being boring and overwhelming. I reviewed 10+ books at Borders before picking this one and buying from Amazon because it was over 30% cheaper. I guess that's why Borders went out of business.

I submitted a review and then realized it was for a different book. This book is wonderful, full of helpful information; it will be a book that the parents will refer to often.

I loved this book. I was a first time parent to be when I bought it. This book took me from totally freaked out to being just fine and having a good idea of how to handle most situations. This book contains loads of information and lots of pictures. Unlike other books it does not tell you how to parent, just what your child needs to be healthy and happy.

If I may also suggest a couple books that made my life a lot easier...

Baby Bargains, 8th Edition: Secrets to Saving 20% to 50% on Baby Furniture, Gear, Clothes, Toys, Maternity Wear and Much, Much More! (Paperback) (This is a must to not buy a bunch of unneeded baby items and it goes over how well baby products compare, such as car seats and strollers)

Good Night Sleep Tight: The Sleep Ladys Gentle Guide to Helping Your Child Go to Sleep, Stay Asleep, and Wake Up Happy (Paperback)

This is a simple to understand direct and to the point book. Covers all topics from playing to illnesses, and has tons of info I haven't found in other books. Since it covers so much, it is very direct and to the point, it does not repeat it self, and find it very informative. I like the pictures and illistrations that help. The short stories of other children is cute and quite helpful to see when other children typically learn new things...or how your child may compare.

This book will walk you through everything that you will need to know about your baby. The pictures are excellent. It is a great resource.
