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."

 Indispensable March 12, 2010

I have two kids (4 and 9 months) and this book is really wonderful. I refer to it often and the advice is very helpful. I recommend this for all parents, especially new parents.
Great book, with a couple of caveats March 1, 2010
nem (New York, NY United States)
Excellent book by the fabulous Sears family! Provides a thorough overview of baby care, including child development, medical/health issues, etc.
A couple of caveats: (1) I also own the Sears' "The Attachment Parenting Book," and I will say that owning both is a waste -- The Baby Book contains enough info about AP that you don't really need the separate book; and (2) the chapter on being an attached but working parent was sooo disappointing! I was really looking forward to reading it, as I will be working full-time after my son is born, but instead of giving useful information, the vast majority of the chapter was dedicated to trying to convince moms to stay at home! Obviously, that would be wonderful, but it's not an option for me (or for many other women). That chapter was a bummer and, truth be told, I finished it feeling a bit offended. But absent that misstep, The Baby Book is great & definitely recommended.
A Must Have! February 14, 2010

If you hate the idea of using the Ferber method than this book is for you. I do not understand how anyone could let their baby cry because they find it inconvenient to pick up them up or go without some sleep. They are not babies forever and this book explains that. I love this method, I think you should love your baby and do everything you can for them. Anyone using the Ferber method is completely insane. Buy this book, you will not regret it!
 Just ok. February 13, 2010

Per my review title, this book is just ok. Haven't read the whole thing, but just seems "fluffier" than I expected after browsing through it in a bookstore. My opinion may change, but so far seems light on the add value quality for a father-to-be looking for some guidance.

Yet somehow you can buy it for such a great price! This book is fantastic. My wife and I constantly use it as a reference and love to read it when we get a free moment (which of course is rare). Out of the 15+ books that we bought before our son was born, this is #1 on our list. Amazing how much detail and depth this book has. Written by professionals who are parents, or vice-versa. A must for any parent!
