Product Description
From burping to tooth cleaning, cutting nails to taking a baby's temperature, this fun, user-friendly book coaches novices through 30 of the most common tasks they'll have to face during the first year of a baby's life. Each procedure is described clearly and is illustrated with large, step-by-step color photographs that show everything parents need to know in detail. The book can stand up or be placed open alongside the baby so that parents can read it without having to take their hands off the child. This format ensures that all the information they need is available at a glance, and allows them to devote all their concentration to the job at hand. Ideal for new parents, grandparents, baby-sitters and mother's helpers -- and a perfect shower gift -- IBabycare for Beginners/I provides the clear, reassuring guidance they need when caring for the newborn and infants.

2 out of 5 stars

Dangerous, mistaken advice May 18, 2006
While this book has many merits in several sections, the part about putting a baby down to sleep is dangerously wrong. The American Academy of Pediatrics has revised its recommendations to avoid Sudden Infant Death syndrome (SIDS) and now recommends putting babies down to sleep only on their backs, not their sides, as this book suggests. The AAP also strongly discourages the use of blankets or soft bedding to avoid smothering, particularly with newborns and infants, and this book tells readers to cover the baby with "a variable number of light blankets."br /This author/publisher really should revise this book in future editions; it's negligent to market this as reliable medical advice.

Excellent Book September 10, 2003
This book is extremely helpful, especially for first time parents. The illustrations are great and this book really answers a lot of questions about parenting a newborn. This is very worthwhile and I do recommend it.

Liked it January 3, 1999
9 out of 9 found this review helpful

I really liked this little, spiral bound book. First of all, the cover is built so that it will prop the book up at an angle that allows you to see the pages while you work on the baby. While this book doesn't go into extreme depth on subjects, it gives step-by-step guides to normal baby care. The pictures are wonderful and there are lots of them, so you'll know what they're talking about in the instructions. I really liked it!
