Summary: Great book as long as you take everything with a grain of salt
Comment: This book does back attachment parenting. I didn't plan on practicing it necessarily, but it did work out for me. I slept with our baby, because that is where we all slept best. I wore my baby to sleep, because that was what worked. I breastfed, because I wanted the best for my baby, not because of what I read in one book. However, I had no problem supplementing with formula early on to make sure she was getting enough to eat. That said, the basics in this book are awesome. The developmental chapters and charts are invaluable, as were the charts & chapters on feeding. Especially as your baby grows and starts on solids. As a reference book, it is amazing. I'm guessing I have strong opinions, so I had no problem making my own decisions in raising our baby. I suggest you buy this book, read it, and then just take everything in and do what works for you.

Summary: Get this one.
Comment: If you're a first time mom--or dad--this is the book to get. It covers virtually everything you need to know up until two years. I felt pretty clueless before I read this book and then, afterwards, felt better and calmer about the whole situtation. Don't be intimated by it's size. It's pretty big but very comphrensive. In conjunction with this one, I also recommend The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night to help with those sleepless nights!!

Summary: best baby book out there
Comment: We used this book as our bible for the first year of our son's life. We are happy to report that he is now 3-1/2 years old, and one of the most well-rounded, happy, healthy kids we know. He eats all kinds of foods, sleeps well, and is very active in the world.

Summary: A Single Mom's Perspective
Comment: I am so grateful that a friend gave this book to me while I was pregnent. What a revalation it was! I could ignore all the non-stop marketing of what kind of gadgets I needed and how I needed to "train" my baby and just trust my own instincts and bond with my baby. Make no mistake, attachment parenting is hard. It's a lot easier to train your baby to sleep through the night by ignoring their cries so that you can get more sleep. As a single mom raising a child alone, breastfeeding around the clock, cosleeping and holding my baby rather than sticking him in bouncer chairs and swings was nothing short of exhausting. Going back to work when he was 4 months old required that I alter some of it, but I stuck with the parenting style for the most part and also adopted a TV-free home. Now that my son is 3.5 years old, every day i see the rewards of my investment. He is a secure, loving, curious, independent, and very empathetic child. People are constantly telling me how "lucky" I am. Yes, I am lucky - lucky I found this book!
