Book Description:
America's bestselling guide to caring for a baby is now better than ever: announcing a two-years-in-the-making, cover-to-cover, line-by-line revision and update of the 6.9-million-copy What to Expect the First Year, the bible for taking care of a newborn through the milestone of his or her first birthday.

The Second Edition incorporates the most recent developments in pediatric medicine. Every question and answer have been revisited, and in response to letters from readers, dozens of new Q&As have been added. The book is more reader-friendly than ever, with updated cultural references, and the new material brings more in-depth coverage to issues such as newborn screening, home births and the resulting at-home newborn care, vitamins and vaccines, milk allergies, causes of colic, sleep problems, SIDS, returning to work, dealing with siblings, weaning, sippy cups, the expanded role of the father, and much more. An updated cover and all-new black-and-white line illustrations complement the fresher book with a fresher look.

Informative to a point, but I found myself referencing it less and less. I didn't finish it.

This is a fantastic reference book for new Parents with any questions regarding their child/children.

Interesting, and full of good information about what to expect at doctor's visits, developmental milestones, etc. However, I found the authors to be less reassuring and more preachy than in "What to Expect When You're Expecting". I didn't finish it by the time my baby turned one.

Very helpful, but certainly not the authority on raising children.
