A great resource for new parents...we had several of these "first year" books and liked each one for different reasons!
New parent - you need this. It came highly recommended and as a first time mom, 9 years ago. I referenced it when baby 2 came along.
Great resource for your first child.
Great reference by the American Academy of Pediatrics for baby's first year...growth charts, social development milestone, diagrams, and an health/emergencies guide for things like infant hernia to vomiting to scabies.
Good reference even, for experienced parents.
This book is really helpful and perfect for the first year! I used it constantly.
I used this a lot as a reference, Lots of info on newborns thru one yr starting with questions to ask when finding a Pediatricion, diet, toys health issues etc
