    I used to have this book when my kids were young. I love that the developmental milestones lists. I like that it covers up to age 5. I like the practical advice in an easy-to-read style. I bought this as a gift for my daughter who just had a baby because I used this book all the time when she was little. Best baby care book I owned. Of course, it's updated!

    I was gifted this book 21 years ago and have gifted the newest editions to first time moms. I found that while googling is helpful it can lead you down a rabbit hole while this book is on point when it comes to when to reach out to your pediatrician and when you need to calm down. Definitely a good resource and when you are bombarded with too many opinions ir suggestions it can be intimidating so gift it to yourself or others and ease your mind with this book.

    “Kids don’t come with a manual” is false. This book is a pretty general manual that dumbs it down to easy to understand (which is great when you’re sleep deprived and trying to figure out what the heck to do next). And the AAP is a great professional resource so you know it’s valid information and not biased. It’s thicker than an encyclopedia but gives you info from pregnancy to year 5. I just wish someone for this for me as a shower gift so I could read it before I had my baby.

    I had this book recommended to me by one of my supervisors who has a kid around the same age as mine. I'm glad I listened to her, this book has a lot of fantastic information about anything from illnesses to developmental milestones. I've been reading the chapters on development as my daughter crosses those stages (she's 7 months now) and have even looked up answers to health concerns that I could not believe I wasn't able to find so easily online.
