Drawing on the contributions and practical wisdom of extra than seventy pediatric specialists and a six-member AAP review board, this invaluable book offers sound, reassuring advice on kid rearing, in addition the latest scientific information you want to recognize to safeguard your kid's much precious asset: his or her health.

Caring for Your Baby and Kid is actually two volumes in one. The first half proposes a comprehensive parenting manual. Written in a warm accessible style and illustrated together with extra than 300 helpful drawings, the manual covers a wide range of topics, from preparing for childbirth and choosing a pediatrician to bonding and basic kid care, and just concerning each other concern or question this parents have.

Detailed, accurate, and up-to-date, Caring for Your Baby and Kid is an necessary kid-care resource for all parents who would like to offer the very excellent care for their kids--and the one guide together parents and pediatricians can safely trust.

It's Sunday afterwards dark. Your baby is sick, harm, or acting strangely, and the doctor won't be in until tomorrow. How can you locate out what to do when your healthcare professionals are unreachable? You may only want to go as far as your bookshelf. The revised edition of Caring for Your Baby and Young Kid: Birth to Age 5 (the American Academy of Pediatrics' reference book for infancy throughout preschool), offers a wealth of authoritative kid-care information in an simple-to-use format.

The first half of this hefty topic serves as a comprehensive parenting manual, and consists of a month-by-month guide to the first year, nutritional information, basic care instructions, and physical, emotional, and social developmental milestones for kids up to 5 years old. While the American Academy of Pediatrics stands for the mainstream kid-rearing philosophies embraced by thousands of baby doctors, it does not reflect the entire gamut of kid-rearing theory. (There's no discussion, for instance, of breast-feeding past the first year or co-sleeping.) The second half of the book consists of a thorough, simple-to-find the way emergency first-aid section, in addition detailed information concerning childhood illnesses, immunization schedules and side results, and family structures, as well as a discussion of behavioral issues. Caring for Your Baby and Young Kid is useful, sensible, and carefully researched, and makes a trustworthy addition to any parent's bookshelf. --Ericka Lutz

Customer Reviews

Customer rating is 4 of 5  Constant reference   2010-04-28
By Wildlife Gal (Oregon)
This book is a constant reference. I like the information, but I think it could be revised again. Pictures and some information seemed out-dated, but overall this book has solid information on what to expect as well as information on diseases, pain reliever dosages, growth charts, and milestones. This book is a great reference in your library of books about child development.

Customer rating is 2 of 5  This 4th Edition (2004) Was Very Good, But Is Now Out Of Date - Buy 5th Edition (2009) Instead   2009-10-31
By ReviewerWhoPrefersToBeAnonymous (California)
Although this 4th edition (2004) was very good when I purchased it some time ago, as of October 2009 you should buy the 5th edition Caring for Your Baby and Young Child, 5th Edition: Birth to Age 5... (Paperback) instead.

The 5th edition (2009) has the following improvements:

* It has 145 more pages.

* The text is more pleasant to read than before because there is more space between the lines.

* The illustrations are better coordinated with the text.

* A lot of revised or new material is present, including: (i) Information on weaning from breast to bottle has been moved from the chapter on 4-7 months to the chapter on 8-12 months. (ii) "The Second Year" chapter in the old edition has been retitled to the less confusing "Your One-Year Old." (iii) The "Age Three to Five Years" chapter has been split into separate chapters for 3-year-olds and for 4- to 5-year-olds. (iv) Part 2 has been reorganized more-or-less alphabetically with new chapters 17 on allergies and 34 on sleep. (v) There is new or substantially revised text on psychological resilience (pages xxxiii-xxxvi), Tdap and other vaccines (7 & 793-800), toxoplasmosis (8), tests during pregnancy (10-13), delivery (13-6 and 36-8), probiotics (118 & 523), vitamin D (169), autism spectrum disorders (336-7 & 622-7), school transportation safety (450-1), E. coli (524-5), sickle cell (635-7), BPA (702), well water (703), and MRSA (825). (vi) The new Appendices on pages 850-866 collect together schedules, growth charts, and so forth that were scattered throughout the old edition.

I'm giving this book 2 stars instead of the 4 stars I would have given it previously. Buy the 5th edition (not this book) from Amazon.com!
