Great Resource!
As
first time
parents, my husband and I were totally lost when it came to newborn care and basic
baby information
. We had very few friends with babies and no close family members to refer to. So, when I discovered this book a few days before giving birth, it gave us great comfort with lots of detailed information of what to expect. Our beautiful baby is almost 3 months old now and this book has been used a lot already! I'm sure that it will be used much more in the months to come as well. This is a great resource, full of details and lots of good information. Put it on
your list
to buy.

EXCELLENT BOOK
THIS BOOK IS A "MUST HAVE" FOR ALL EXPECTING MOTHERS (NOT JUST
FIRST TIME
MOTHERS). IT IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND ANSWERS MANY QUESTIONS TO EVERYDAY OCCURANCES WITH
YOUR
BABY
. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EXPECTING MOTHERS.
Pediatric Excellence: Now Babies come with an Instruction Manual!
This non-profit book, published by The Am. Academy of Pediatrics, is essentially "Pediatric Excellence." The book is a compilation of the best advice from the pediatrician members of the Academy. The information covers the spectrum from unborn to one
year
.
"PART I, Preparing for a New
Baby
," starts with pages on getting-it-right with
your prenatal
person. Topics include, choosing a pediatrician, preparing your home and family for arrival, routine and not so routine issues that can occur during delivery and immediate day-to-day care.
In "PART II" these pediatrician experts address the many questions that some parents may not have the time or courage to ask their pediatrician. How many BM's and what color? Birth-marks, Colic, the umbilical chord, traveling, going outside, baby's ability to smell, sitters, day care, and pages and pages of more. The breast-feeding chapter is a recipe for success, while not demeaning people who for one reason or another need to bottle-feed.
The books exhaustive index is a quick guide for re-checking or searching down a certain problem. Unlike many other books, this one covers the health from the baby's perspective, with the express focus of what is best for your baby's care, directly from the Academy, the world's foremost advocate and authority on children's medicine.
Each chapter contains information that is easy to read, yet avoids being simplistic. All parents, no matter their experience or education will find the information in these pages essential and valuable. For best results, buy the book early in mother's last trimester. If you wait until the baby arrives you will miss one-third of the book. However, if you wait until after the birth, you need to also go out and buy it for the rest of your baby's
first year
. It is still worth it. As a practicing pediatrician and a professor of pediatrics I give the book to each every new parent and each and every new pediatrician in training. At the Northside Children's Pediatric Center this book is required reading.

Invaluable tool for first timers
This book has been an invaluable tool for us. It's the owners manual for
your
baby
! It has saved us many calls to the Doctor. We are
first time
parents and it gave information on feeding (both bottle and breast), changing, poops and pees, fevers, just about everything you can imagine. I highly recommend this book for parents.
