About the Author

Benjamin Spock, M.D., practiced pediatrics in New York City from 1933 to 1947. He then became a medical teacher and researcher at the Mayo Clinic, the University of Pittsburgh, and Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. The author of eleven books, he was a political activist for causes that vitally affect children: disarmament, day care, schooling, housing, and medical care for all. He had two sons, a stepdaughter, and four grandchildren. Dr. Spock, who died March 15, 1998, at age ninety-four, was married to Mary Morgan. Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care has been translated into thirty-nine languages and has sold fifty million copies worldwide since its first publication in 1946.

I would not recommend this book if you are looking for a good ...

ByKimia Sehation August 12, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I would not recommend this book if you are looking for a good read on Dr. Spock's teachings. Dr. Spock's name is only listed as a way of cashing in for the author, as, at most, only 1% of the book covers Dr. Spock's teachings, and those are only small excerpts. I was very disappointed about this and definitely felt cheated as I would not have noticed or purchased this book otherwise. This is not a book that you sit down and read from cover to cover on child rearing, but is rather a book that you turn to when you have a specific issue, as it is far too detailed and covers a lot of ground that is simply common sense.

Incredibly thorough and all-encompassing.

ByJonathanon October 22, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

As a parent and school-based Speech-Language Pathologist, I highly recommend this book. It has sections about every topic you can think of relating to kids. It is a long and factual book, so it is not a quick read. Some might find it better to use like a reference book, as needed. Others may want to skim parts that they already feel well-versed in. Dr. Spock was ahead of his time, and this book is completely up-to-date and fact based.

BySusie Qon August 24, 2015

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

So far so good. The way I approached this book was to read the reassuring parts in the front then skim through the practical parts for pregnancy and baby's first year. My mother in law used the Dr. Spock book to raise my husband and he came out a wonderfully compassionate, kind, respectful, and loving person - so I hope I can do the same!

Perfect new mom gift

ByTestdummyon January 9, 2017

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

My favorite baby gift for new moms. Dr. Spock answers those pesky questions like "is that weird squeak coming out of my sleeping child normal" or "should baby poop be that color?" especially when you don't want to call your mum for the third time at 2 a.m. I tend to buy 2 or 3 copies at a time to share as new moms announcement their pregnancies.

Has been a very interesting read. Especially from someone that hasn't had a child in 30 years! After reading it I am not giving out old advice anymore to my children!

Best book for expecting parents and those who already have children

ByHBCon April 1, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The best book out there on the subject. It's unbiased and touches on every topic you can think of from getting pregnant to sending your kids off to college and everything in between. I always keep it handy.
