Editorial Reviews

This excellent baby care resource should not be overlooked.... this oversized manual includes great photographs and everything you'll need to parent with confidence.

Nashville Parent Magazine

"[starred review] Much like a good pediatrician, the text is straightforward and personable, and more than 200 color photos of parents and children provide an intimate, playful touch. The authors successfully create "a clear, objective, and, above all, practical guide" in this instructive and visually lively resource."
