Product Description
This comprehensive guide for new parents finding themselves overwhelmed dealing with the reality of parenting provides "parent-tested, pediatrician-approved" advice to allay their fears. Written in a compassionate yet authoritative tone by two moms who are also pediatricians, this guide covers a wealth of topics that often prove daunting in the first eight weeks of a child's life. Starting with "Into the Mouths of Babes" (the trials of breastfeeding) and "What Comes in Must Come Out" (a discussion of "pee and poop") and moving on through "Fever: Trial by Fire" and "Seeing Yellow: Jaundice," this guide offers sound advice that will enable parents to feel confident about their parenting skills. Hints on daily living, sleep patterns, crying, the art and science of diapering, and traveling with a newborn are also provided.

5 out of 5 stars great book   December 31, 2008
This is a great resource for new parents: well-written by two female pediatricians who are also mothers, written with a good dose of humor (so not a stuffy "facts only" book), and very readable as well. I highly recommend this book for all parents of young infants (I would also highly recommend their other book: Food Fights)


5 out of 5 stars Great!   December 25, 2008
Great book for first timers! I felt comfortable with the information as it was written by pediatricians and it covers everyting from your first day home to travel on an airplane.br /br /If you have no experience with newborns this is the book for you.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent and informative book. Down to earth medical info from A-Z   December 23, 2008
I absolutely love this book. It was amazing how helpful it is. I have a mother who is a certified OB-GYN registered nurse and I am one of 6 kids so I really thought I knew almost everything pertaining to babies, but this book opened my eyes to alot I had no clue about, especially everyday basic stuff. It is amazing how helpful and reader-friendly this book is. My husband loved it too!!


5 out of 5 stars super all around baby care   October 13, 2008
I love this book. The voice it is written in is both down to earth and funny. It makes you feel like you are talking with the authors themselves. It has many details about baby care often overlooked by other books or resources. The chapter on breastfeeding is particularly truthful and helpful. During the more trying moments of learning to care for my newborn I found this book to be a comfort.


3 out of 5 stars Boring, pretty biased, but, good amount of detail   October 8, 2008
 1 out of 7 found this review helpful

First, I've only read 2 or 3 chapters so far. It starts off with breastfeeding. Aside from its length the first chapter was a put off for me because the author seems biased about breastfeeding and a couple of other points. If a women weren't intending to or for some reason couldn't breastfeed, this chapter and this author may make her feel guilty which is unfortunate and certainly not what a mom with a newborn needs. I am pregnant now and plan to breastfeed because I agree with the benefits, but women during this time should receive support with whatever they choose (bottle or breast). Encouragement to breastfeed is probaly a good thing, but I just didn't like the vibe from this book...at least so far. Maybe I haven't read more yet because of the initial turn off. I rate it with 3 stars because I like a lot of details and this book appears to be fairly clear and practical for the new mom. Overall, you probably wouldn't regret buying the book, but as with me, you may want plan to buy others on newborns for various opinions so you may reach your own conclusions on how to mother your child.
