  • A great manual for new parents
Format: Paperback
My doctor recommended this book to me because I'm a first time parent. It's easy to read and well organized. It provides comprehensive explanations of everything you might encounter when raising a child. Some people may want a more simplified or summarized guide, but I prefer to have content that is approved by the American Academy of Pediatrics. I'm very glad to have this book and plan to refer to it for many years to come. ... show more
