This review is from: Simply Parenting: Understanding Your Newborn & Infant (Paperback)

This book is so basic and limited that it's really not all that useful. The entries are EXTREMELY brief (a paragraph or two) for most topics - which means that I can't imagine anybody really using this book as a reference without another book to back it up.

Maybe if you're just looking for a very basic, quick read, it might be useful. But in general it's pretty lacking.

This review is from: Simply Parenting: Understanding Your Newborn & Infant (Paperback)

I am the proud Mom of a 5-month-old baby girl. When we first brought her home from the hospital, we, like most new parents, had so many unanswered questions and turned to the "experts" for guidance. After just a few weeks, my husband and found ourselves so confused and overwhelmed by all of the conflicting opinions and information that we decided to pack up all of the parenting books EXCEPT for Simply Parenting and listen to that voice alone. Dr. MaryAnn is clear, easy-to-understand and just spot on. An indispensable resource for any parent!

This is the information that I want the parents of my patients to have! Dr LoFrumento has achieved her goal in creating a very useful tool for new parents- no gimmicks- just plain old medically sound up-to-date information. I wish I could afford to give a copy to each newborn that I see in my practice! I do know it will be part of the my "signature" baby shower gift basket!
