  This book was excellent in conjunction with the Dr. Sears Baby Book.

  I really like this book -- it is full of information. I DID NOT agree with the information it had on co-sleeping --and neither does the research.

  This book is okay as a reference manual, if you have a specific question. Not that reassuring just to read through it.

  Like this book MUCH better than "What to Expect when you're expecting". It is easy to read and reference and very thorough.

  I really liked this book. I referred to it and a few others ALL the time to navigate through what was normal/abnormal raising a baby for the first time.

  I think this is a good book to have as a reference, as long as you don't get caught up in the milestones.

  It's okay for an overview, but it just didn't have the information I was looking for half the time.

  My husband loved this book. It made me worry sometimes. It is a little preachy, as a first time mom it worried me if I was doing something different.

  Okay for some random information here and there but definitely outdated and preachy.

  Really enjoyed having this as a reference book. I think people who freak out over milestones will freak out no matter what book they're reading. It says over and over again that these are merely general guidelines and every baby is different. Just like the Dr. will tell you!

  Ok book. I still reference back to it from time to time.

  Has some interesting information but uses some very politically incorrect language when referring to people of different ethnic groups. There are better resources available.

  It was ok. It had the basics and was a good reference when needed.

  I hated what to expect when you are expecting, but this is an interesting read and not so much "worst case scenerio". Crap for special needs info.

  Can't stand this series. Try Dr. Sears instead.

  This whole series is great. I just wish they continued... What to Expect with your teenager would be greatly appreciated right now.

  If you just use this book as a reference and not a bible, it's okay. I've seen parents freak out because their child wasn't crawling by the time this book said they should be. Every kid is different, I think this book can add unnecessary anxiety when your child isn't meeting the standard it sets.

  Used this more as a reference when I had questions.

  terrible. decent developmental advice, but A LOT of subtle "this is how you should parent advice" trying to be disguised as actual medical advice. don't bother.

  Not great. I much preferred the American Academy of Pediatrics book: Your Child ages newborn -5.
