THE BABY BOOK: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR BABY FROM BIRTH TO AGE TWO
Author: William Sears, M.D., Martha Sears, M.D.
When it comes to advice on baby and toddler care, nobody does it better than Bill and Martha Sears, the authors of
The Baby Book. Dr. Sears is a pediatrician with 20-plus years experience, and his wife Martha is a registered nurse. Together, the two have raised eight kids. In this voluminous paperback edition, they share their knowledge on everything from newborn rashes, spitting up, cord and nail care, breast and formula feeding, introducing solids, and solving your baby's sleep problems. Their tone is down-to-earth, friendly, and accessible. And while this may not appeal to all parents, you'll also get the Sears 5-step plan to attachment parenting -- which encourages sleeping with your infant instead of letting him cry it out in his own crib.
