Summary: Not my cup of tea
Comment: I dislike this whole series of books. The author spends too much time making her beliefs sound like facts in some areas (like against co-sleeping and for "crying it out") and then pandering to both sides (like bottle feeders and breastfeeders) in other areas in an obvious attempt to sacrifice the best baby advice for coddling to readers who may not have gone the path that's best for baby and don't want to feel bad about it. The advice is more along the lines of my mother's generation than the current practices and research that is so much more baby-friendly. I like Dr. Sears' "The Baby Book" much better.

Summary: A great resource!
Comment: This book was essential to helping me get through the first year. It has so many tips and supports available. I had it at my fingertips many days!

Summary: Great Baby Shower Gift
Comment: I have given this book as a baby shower present a number of times, and it always appears to be greatly appreciated. You can only use so many onesies, and this is a gift that will keep giving and giving.
It is in encyclopedia format, thus it serves as a good quickie guide. Most new mothers won't have the time to read a book page by page, and with this layout they will not need to.
This is a very practical, outside-the-box gift. Highly recommended.

Summary: A little too much
Comment: I expected to find everything in here, How much milk I should pump to feed my baby, how many times does a 3-months-old has to eat, for how long?? But I couldn't find those answers... I don't know if the book is too big to read and when you have a baby you have too little time... or the writes expect you to read it while you are pregnant.
Although it has some useful information, not sure if I will recommended to a friend.. I think all the information you want to know is in the Internet.

Summary: Handy reference
Comment: While the American Academy of Pediatrics book is good, this one is more user friendly. It's divided by age, you can skim what you need without having to read the whole thing in one go.
