4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best parenting books I have read so far!!!, March 15, 1999
This review is from: The Parents Answer Book: Everything You Need to Know about Your Child's Development, Health, and Safety, from Birth Through Age Five (Hardcover)
There is only one thing I disagree in this book which had a very small section suggesting letting a baby cry for an extended period because it says it is important for a baby to learn to comfort him/herself and handle returning to sleep on his/her own. I am against letting a baby younger than 6 months to cry it out under any circumstances. If my baby was 6 months or older, I may let him cry him out at night only for 5-10 minutes maxium. That is also why I only gave it 4 stars. Other than that, I believe the book was very well-written and organzied. The book talks about the newborn basics, covers physical, emothional and cognitive milestones, your child's health etc.
