Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Ear infections need to be treated with antibiotics. Newborns and infants should be bathed daily. New parents are deluged with advice on how to care for their babies. This book explores common baby health myths--in areas such as feeding, sleeping, toilet training, and illness--to help them separate baby facts from baby fiction.

From the Back Cover

America's leading pediatricians and health experts agree—BabyFacts is a must for parents! It reveals and dispels many of the dangerous myths that persist about the health of young children.

"There may be more urban myths about parenting than any other category. . . . BabyFacts takes those myths and shatters them and leaves us with the truth in their place. What a wonderful book for every parent and all those doctors, too."
—Nancy L. Snyderman, M.D., NBC News Chief Medical Editor

"BabyFacts serves up bite-sized nuggets of solid advice, perfect for parents who want a quick reality check. BabyFacts deserves a place on every parenting bookshelf."
—Robert Needlman, M.D., coauthor of Dr Spock's Baby and Child Care, Eighth Edition

"Your child is too precious to make parenting decisions on bad information! BabyFacts separates fact from fiction."
—Ari Brown, M.D., author of Baby 411 and Toddler 411

"BabyFacts stands out on the crowded parenting shelf. . . . I enthusiastically recommend BabyFacts to new and veteran parents who want to correct the many 'things you know that just aren't so.'"
—Marianne Neifert, M.D., author of Dr. Mom: A Guide to Baby and Child Care

"Dr. Adesman has done a real favor for parents with his new book. . . . BabyFacts gives great advice and helpful guidance for new and old families alike."
—Steven Shelov, M.D., Editor-in-Chief, American Academy of Pediatrics' Caring for Your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must read" book for new moms!, February 9, 2009
This review is from: Baby Facts: The Truth about Your Child's Health from Newborn through Preschool (Paperback)
As a pediatrician, I initially skimmed this book out of curiosity to see if there were any pediatric myths that I innocently believed. Wow, I'm glad I did! I was surprised at how many myths even I believed were true! Reading "BabyFacts" will make me a better pediatrician, mother, and overall "advice giver." I am now recommending this book not only to my patients, but to my colleagues and friends with young children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Baby Shower Gift Ever!!!, January 30, 2009
By Ruth Goldman "Mother of 5" (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baby Facts: The Truth about Your Child's Health from Newborn through Preschool (Paperback)
I bought this book to give to sister for her baby shower and ended up buying one for myself and everyone else I know who is having a baby!! The information in this book is invaluable and answers alot of questions that I wanted to ask my pediatrician but forgot/ felt foolish asking. I highly recommend buying this book for either yourself or anyone who has young children!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book!, March 23, 2009
This review is from: Baby Facts: The Truth about Your Child's Health from Newborn through Preschool (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was refreshing to read such an educational, information-packed book that was written in a light-hearted and at times humorous tone. The "myth/fact" format also helped to make it an easy read. I was really surprised to learn how many myths I have fallen victim to. I would recommend this book to any parent or grandparent (my mom also read it and I find her quoting it to me at times)!
