Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations65 reviews
Alex Harris, Brett Harris

Multnomah Books, 2008

Great book for every teen
Like several reviewers wrote, I picked up this book for my 13 year old and first read it myself. It not only inspired me to do some "hard things", it helped me realize how I can challenge my kids to stretch beyond what they think their limitations may be . My daughter is reading it now and loves it and I want my husband to read it next. I will recommend it to everyone I know who has a teen or ...

The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night672 reviews
Elizabeth Pantley, William Sears

McGraw-Hill, 2002

It works!!!
I bought this book because I was exhausted and about 650 people had given it positive reviews. It actually does work!!! Within 12 days, my son was sleeping through the night, and I re-entered the world of functioning, thinking human beings!! Pantley has taken a very scientific approach to developing this method, and it shows. It seems to be geared more toward co-sleeping families, but she ...

Eat This Not That! for Kids!: Be the Leanest, Fittest Family on the Block!7 reviews
David Zinczenko, Matt Goulding

Rodale Books, 2008

Buy This! for kids! (and yourself)
In parenting as in life, it's all about making good decisions. The trick is knowing which choices are the right ones. This small colorful book tells you very simply which food choices are the right ones. It not only tells you, but also shows you with hundreds of color photos. Although it is supposedly for kids, the information is useful -- and fascinating -- for anyone. We've all heard the ...

Gary Ezzo, Robert Bucknam

Parent-Wise Solutions, Inc., 2006

Most useful sleep book
Every day that my child did not sleep through the night after reaching 12-13 pounds, I bought another book with sleep advice. This is the fifth and final book that I bought. Every friend I recommend it to is incredibly grateful and I am forever grateful to the friend who recommended it to me.

Harvey Karp

Bantam, 2003

Great book for newborns
I bought this book with a bunch of other books, I'm due in two months so I haven't actually tried any of Dr. Karps techniques but the book was super easy to read, and had some really interesting techniques that I'm dying to try now! :-) I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, especially for first time parents. 		  
  







  
  
Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child1121 reviews
Marc Weissbluth

Ballantine Books, 2003

Finally, some evidence-based advice.
As a happy but sometimes sleep-deprived breastfeeding mother of a typical 7 month old, I have read a wide variety of books on parenting and sleep. Books that promote strict feeding/sleeping routines, such as BabyWise & Baby Whisperer, provide potentially damaging advice to the mother hoping to successfully breastfeed. The assertion that you must follow some kind of eat-activity-sleep schedule ... 		  
  







  
  
Unstuck: Your Guide to the Seven-Stage Journey Out of Depression13 reviews
MD, James S. Gordon

Penguin Press HC, The, 2008

a model for a holistic approach
James Gordon, MD, opens his new book with the following bold statement: "Depression is not a disease, the end point of a pathological process...It's a wake-up call and the start of a journey that can help us become whole and happy, a journey that can change and transform our lives." This may not sound like the typical perspective of a Western-trained psychiatrist, but Gordon is not your typical ... 		  
  







  
  
Caring for Your Baby and Young Child, Revised Edition: Birth to Age 5 (Shelov, Caring for your Baby and Young ...158 reviews
American Academy Of Pediatrics

Bantam, 2004

The Only Baby Care Book You Need
This book was recommended by our pediatrician and also by our hospital. It truly is the only baby care book you need. Great format, clean, simple reading that is easy to digest...especially important in those first few weeks as a new parent. It will be the only childcare book still sitting on my bookshelf when we're ready for baby #2.

What's Going on in There? : How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life125 reviews
Lise Eliot

Bantam, 2000

Just what I was looking for
This excellent book filled a palpable void in my parenting books by (finally!) answering so many of my questions about my baby's development. Dozens of other books on my shelf told me what to avoid during pregnancy, for example, but none explained why. The author brought the best research along with her own (and others') personal experiences to create a fabulous book about babies' cognitive ... 		  
  







  
  
Heading Home with Your Newborn: From Birth to Reality49 reviews
Laura A. Jana, Jennifer Shu

American Academy Of Pediatrics, 2005

Very satisfied
I have been expecting to have a baby within two months. I bought this book to learn how to take care of newborn before giving birth. I read some reviews before getting it. A few people didn't seem to satisfy with it. But for me, it is so great. It has got detail of each chapter and easy to read and understand. I am going to have a first baby but this book has given me so much information. If you ... 		  
  







  
  
Your Baby's First Year (Second Edition)36 reviews
American Academy Of Pediatrics

Bantam, 2004

Authoritative, compact, no-nonsense
I really appreciate this "baby owner's manual." Published by a large professional group effort of the American Academy of Pediatrics, it is down to earth, up-to-date, and clearly written. They cover everything-- physical, social, intellectual, and emotional development, safety issues including products and food safety, and of course, health information. I just call it 'the book.' Highly ...

Arlene Eisenberg, Heidi Murkoff, ...

Workman Publishing Company, 1994

Great for a step by step review
I enjoyed the previous books in the series. And this does not disappoint. Great book, you don't feel like you have to read 20 chapters to get to where your kid is at in development. 		  
  







  
  
On Becoming Baby Wise: Book II (Parenting Your Pretoddler Five to Fifteen Months)147 reviews
Gary Ezzo, Robert Bucknam

Parent-Wise Solutions Inc, 2001

Exactly what I needed!
This book has been invaluable to me as my son has started eating solids and becoming more active. I am a first-time parent, and while I do not hold to a strict daily schedule or the sleeping methods that Baby-Wise suggests, I find their wisdom and suggestions regarding introducing solids and varying the "wake time" activities extremely helpful. I had few ideas as to what to do with my baby on a ...

Denise Fields, Ari Brown

Windsor Peak Press, 2007

A must have for new parents
I had the 2nd edition of this book. This was my bible for the few months before and after my daughter was born. It's funny, esay to read, and made me feel prepared (well as much as you can feel prepared for a newborn baby.) 		  
  







  
  
Top 100 Baby Purees: 100 Quick and Easy Meals for a Healthy and Happy Baby69 reviews
Annabel Karmel

Atria, 2006

Great Book on Infant Nutrition
Okay, it's important to bear in mind that Annabel Karmel is British - she lives and works in Britain, where child feeding guidelines are obviously different. This information is clearly stated in the book. I don't think she has disdain for AAP (American Academy of Pediatric) guidelines ... not everything revolves around America, folks! So keep that in mind as you consider which recipes to make ...
