This daughter/mother/sister team has included probably the most current developments in pediatric medicine. Each question and answer has been revisited, and in response to letters from readers, dozens of new questions and answers have been added. The book is far more reader-friendly than ever, with updated cultural references, and the new material brings much more in-depth coverage to issues like newborn screening, home births and also the resulting at-home newborn care, vitamins and vaccines, milk allergies, causes of colic, sleep troubles, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), returning to function, dealing with siblings, weaning, sippy cups, the expanded role of the father, and a lot a lot more. Chapters focus on month-by-month development, and you'll find additional chapters that focus on other broader subjects, for example wellness issues, special needs kids, and postpartum recovery. The authors also ingeniously contain comprehensive information on developmental milestones. Information empowers a new parent, the authors surmise, and though too much details or conflicting information can trigger confusion and frustration, getting a reference book like theirs to consult whenever the need arises alleviates insecurity and be concerned.
The authors encourage parents to make use of their most beneficial resource - their instincts - and find out to trust in them, and remind readers that there's no such factor as a "perfect parent" and that we will all continue to create mistakes by means of our journey as parents. The trick is to understand from them, thereby coming ever closer to the ideal with the best parent.
