In their excellent (and hefty) resource guide, The Baby Book, attachment parenting specialists William Sears and Martha Sears have provided new parents with their approach to every aspect of baby care basics, from newborns to toddlers. Attachment parenting is a gentle, reasonable approach to parenting that stresses bonding with your baby, responding to her cues, breastfeeding, "wearing" your baby, and sharing sleep with your child. For those parents who worry about negative effects of this attention, the Sears say, "Spoiling is what happens when you leave something (or some person) alone on the shelf--it spoils."

 Best overall reference August 30, 2010
Mama of three (California)
After three kids and probably 20 books I can honestly say this is the best single, overall parenting book on the market. It IS attachment parenting (of course, since it's written by the Sears Family - and if you don't know what that is BUY this book!!!) but it truly does go even further than that into all things from preparing for birth to Smoothie recipes for finicky toddler eaters. I have purchased this book many times over as gifts for friends because I'm still unwilling to let mine out of my house.
great book loaded with info, NOT ONLY for APers! August 21, 2010
K. Early (Yakima, WA)
This is a great book. I found myself constantly flipping through it's pages time and again, especially with my first child. As a new mom, I loved all the information on basic baby care, medication information (such as dosing children's Tylenol appropriately for an infant when you have no infant Tylenol), and the breastfeeding and sleeping info. It also has an excellent discussion on health issues, what to really worry about and take baby to hospital, vs. what are just normal childhood illnesses.
I describe myself as a middle-of-the road sorta parent. I took what information worked for me/my family from this book -- and it was very useful. I found it so valuable that I've given copies of this book to numerous friends/family members when they are expecting their first baby. This is truly a new parent's "Baby Owner's Manual."
sound advice for first time moms and for experienced moms that need to check a few things out August 19, 2010
Kaylee
Useful reference book that lets us mom worry less as it covers a lot of topics. My only regret is that I didn't buy this book sooner.

My doctor recommended this book. Dr. Sears believes in raising children with kindness and respect. I love it and follow just about all of his advice.
Very helpful July 29, 2010
Tiffany Lutnick (Snoqulamie, WA)
I bought The Baby Book just after our son was born at the recommendation of a friend. I've found it really helpful and love Dr. Sears' style of parenting. I have a high-needs baby, so his section on that and baby wearing have been especially useful for me. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to raise their child with attachment parenting.
