From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Two leading pediatricians at Toronto's internationally esteemed Hospital for Sick Children (aka Sick Kids) combine their expertise with that of five other pediatricians and a nurse practitioner in this comprehensive guide to the first 12 months of life. The book opens with a useful section on concepts and decisions that should be addressed before the baby is born, such as choosing a doctor, preparing siblings and purchasing equipment. The authors also discuss a variety of family situations, including single, same sex and adoptive parents. Following sections cover development and medical concerns in the first days, weeks and months, giving special attention to feeding, sleep issues, play, safety and how to care for a sick baby. Frequently Asked Questions sections will be particularly useful to first-time parents. Much like a good pediatrician, the text is straightforward and personable, and more than 200 color photographs of parents and children provide an intimate, playful touch. The authors successfully create a clear, objective, and, above all, practical guide in this instructive and visually lively resource. (Sept.)

Reader Reviews
I had originally checked out this book through our local library and from reading it, decided we would definitely need it on hand as our little guy grew through his first year. It is very comprehensive and covers aspects of baby care that I would not have even thought of! It is a very easy read with larger print and lots of pictures to illustrate the current discussion.
