Hey there, Dear parents! Since the day 1 of my child, i have been using this book. It is very very very useful and i definitely will recommend this book to everyone. I in fact bought 2 books from Amazon. One for me and other as a gift to my friend who's a new Mom. Tis a good gift as well.

Great book, came in perfect condition.

Must have for first time parents.

This is a great book; super helpful and a wonderful resource on pretty much every topic you’ll ever need and that you can always go back to as your baby ages. You should know that the authors have very strong opinions on parenting that they definitely advocate for, but that’s the whole point of the book! This book is for parents who are confused about conflicting advice on really important issues that directly affect development, and this book will point you in the right direction. Because of the huge range of topics, as well as the science-backed advise, I would say that this book is absolutely necessary for every new parent.However, there is one bit of information in this book that I don’t agree with, and that’s the advise to never wake a sleeping baby. This advise can be followed most of the time, but when a baby has just been born, sometimes they are not strong enough to wake themselves up enough to feed as often as they need to. I made this mistake when I first gave birth, and it lead to my perfectly healthy and responsive baby losing too much weight and almost becoming dehydrated, which is very dangerous! The medical information advised by my Pediatrician is that newborns should not go longer than 2-3 hours from the onset of their last feeding before feeding them again, so babies WILL need to be woken up to eat. However, this only needs to be followed until babies pass their birth weight and are developing appropriately, so it’s usually only for the first 2 weeks. I’m sure this information is skipped over in the book just because it pertains to such a short period of time in a baby’s life, but I think it’s important to warn new parents nonetheless!

J'adore ce livre, très complet avec des auteurs qui sont à la fois expérimentés en tant que parents (ayant 8 enfants) et en tant que pédiatres avec des années de pratique.C'est un livre basé sur le maternage proximal, avec beaucoup de conseils pratiques sur le cododo, le portage, l'allaitement, la diversification, les problématiques, la reprise du travail, les maladies ainsi que les points de développement physique et psychologiques mois par mois, avec des conseils de jeux et d'activités à faire.Ce que j'ai particulièrement aimé c'est qu'ils ne donnent pas de conseils tout faits, mais des idées à explorer et à tester en fonction de ce qui marche pour nous (car évidement chaque enfant est différent). J'avais par exemple des problèmes à l'endormissement de ma fille autour de ses 1 ans. Et grâce à ce livre j'ai repris confiance en ma propre intuition, ce qui a très bien marché.Il y a tout un chapitre sur le "high need baby", un bébé qui à plus de besoins et d'attentes qu'un bébé normal (ce qui était le cas de ma fille qui ne voulait surtout pas qu'on l'a pose ou l'ignore) et ce chapitre m'a fait prendre conscience qu'elle n'avait pas de problème particulier, juste que c'était son caractère. Ca nous a permis de l'accepter et de comprendre comment mieux vivre avec elle, et apprécier justement son côté expressif.S'il vous faut choisir juste un livre pour les 2 premières années de votre enfant, c'est clairement celui ci qu'il vous faut.

Me encanta este libro. Es muy útil y completo y fácil de entender sobre tu bebe hija. No tengo tiempo a contat mas detalles ahora pero lo estoy leyendo y me encanta. Esta siempre en el sofa para que lea cada instante libre que consigo.- cien por cien recomendada.

You can find more informations on google. Wasting of money!

The Baby Book is a must have for soon to be parents and parents. I have three children and I just started reading the Baby Book and am amazed in regards to all of the informative content the book contains. I wish I would of read the book with my first and second child- and wish even more so that I read it while I was pregnant with my third child. I have learned so much about the why's and what's, what if's and what to expect of pregnancy, parenthood and my baby's progression through the first weeks and months ( I believe the book covers through the toddler years but I have not read that far yet). Topics include everything from labor positions to birth issues and complications to babyhood and toddlerhood. I especially like that this book emphasizes attachment parenting, breastfeeding, baby wearing and cosleeping as essential to a baby's growth; mentally, physically and emotionally. In addition the Baby Book contains facts and references to these facts in these areas and does not solely focus on opinions.
