The Sears Baby Book : Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby from Birth to Age Two: Based on the World War I Legend of the Fearless Pigeon

This was my favorite book 28 years ago and I bought the updated version for the next generation. A life saver when you are trying to decide if he or she is sick enough to warrant a trip to emergency. Lots of tips on what is 'normal'. Excellent breastfeeding info!

Love this book. My faithful companion through out the first year of my first baby. I found so much reliable and easy to comprehend information, but also great tips and ideas on how to approach different issues that come along with parenting.

This book has saved me so much anxiety, stress, and probably ER trips! I love the approach they use to parenting, and the insight they give into baby development. The section of infant sickness and emergencies is very helpful. I’ve bought this for multiple friends who have had babies after me, and will continue to buy it as a shower gift for all new moms. It is a must have!

My daughters have used this book for about 18 yrs. It constantly is revising and updating information and I’ve continued to give this as a baby shower gift.

Such a great book for anyone expecting a newborn!! My husband and I are expecting our first and we've been reading this in the evenings to help prepare us for the big transition. It has been so helpful with practical information about everything baby related. It lays out all the facts in a very friendly inviting way that's easy to read, helping us make descisions together about things like circumcision, etc. And also talks about things like bonding with baby which helps us get excited about meeting our little one for the first time. A very nice balance of practical, yet keeping a very positive view. Deffinatly recomend!Side note: there is also stuff in there about introducing new baby to older siblings etc. so I would recommend even if this is not your first or if baby is already born. There's literally everything you need to know in there!
