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.

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!

As a first time parent I was absolutely clueless as what to expect with the birth of my son. My husband and I felt overwhelmed with the information thrown at us at the hospital regarding his care. Simply Parenting helped us get through the tough weeks in the beginning by answering our questions and calming our fears. This book is easy to read and provides the information that you really need to know regarding your child. The DVD is quite entertaining and informative. Now that our son is 3 months old we use the Simply Parenting book and DVD so that we know what to expect in the upcoming months. I definately recommond this book to all new parents. It's a lifesaver!!!

My best friend is expecting her first child in October and I can't think of any better gift than Simply Parenting.

I found the simply parenting book/dvd combo wonderful. It was easy to read and it really helped my husband understand what to do with our new baby. He was so scared to wash or even hold our baby that I was feeling overwhelmed. Then he watched the DVD. He loved it and now he is feeling more confident in his skills as a dad. I can't wait to buy the next in the series, and give them as a gift to all my friend who are new moms.

I loved how easy this was to read. Sometimes I do not have the time to sit and read all day long and this was good for me to pick up where I wanted to read and I could read up on basics and go on about my day. This came with a DVD which was very handy too. I think the author thought of the busy parents when writting the book and decided to create a DVD to go along with it. I like to pop that in and be able to do what I need with my son and watch what I wanted to review or learn at the moment.

When I had my daughter I read this book immediately. It was very useful. Dr. Lofromento helps to keep it all simple. Her advice is reassuring, easy and direct. I highly recommmend this to any first time parent!
