3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat helpful, VERY out-of-date, October 23, 2000

By A Customer

Although the descriptions of different babies' development & temperment were somewhat interesting, this book is completely out-of-date. The photos and some of the advice was so old-fashioned (i.e. letting babies sleep on their stomachs, feeding healthy babies "sugar water" to delay feedings) that it was distracting. This book needs a major overhaul to make it worth the $17 pricetag. I returned it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best one, May 19, 2000

By	"husband3" (Teaneck, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this book years ago when my children were born. Five children and twenty five years later, it is my favorite baby gift especially for a first time mother.

The book describes three different infants and their temperments so clearly that no matter what kind of a baby you have, you will find your child somewhere in the book. For a first time mother, when variations of childrens sleeping, eating, and temperments are so different, it is reassuring to know that the one in your crib is as healthy and normal as the rest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helps the first-time parent, January 6, 2000

By	M. HARDT "Dog show enthusiast" (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This book does what few childcare books do: reassures the parent that their child's natural developmental timing is OK. I used this book often to look at the great latitude in development at various ages. The descriptions of the babies and mothers' reactions to them are great.
