It’s unfortunate that the American Academy of Pediatrics would use this book to push their political agendas about gun control. On page 389 it says
“The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly supports gun control legislation. We believe that handguns, deadly air guns, and assault weapons should be banned. Until handguns are banned, we recommend that handgun ammunition be regulateed, that restrictions be placed on handgun ownership, and the the number of privately owned handguns be reduced.”
People who are buying this book are looking for baby advice, not political garbage. It’s sad that AAP would stoop so low to include comments such as this.
They also make dangerous recommendations about how to put your child in the car seat on page 411:
“Place a small rolled up diaper or receiving blanket bewteen the crotch strap and your baby to prevent his lower body from sliding too far forward.”
This is contrary to manufacturer’s recommendations with car seats and any seat that uses a seat belt. In an accident the rolled up diaper/blanket would compress and cause the belts to be too loose, potentially causing additional injury or even allow the baby to come out of the belts/seat altogether.

Since babies don’t came with an “owner’s manual” they created one to help you anticipate and handle your new baby’s basic needs without worry. This helpful handbook covers feeding, bathing, first aid, health childproofing, and sleeping (good luck!)Noewly revised, this book gives new parents the techniques and confidence they need.

I found this book to be old fashioned in some of its info. Buy Baby 411 instead.

My friend said this book helped her, I’m going based on her review of it…I bought it for her a year ago and I seen it in her bathroom recently. So she’s been reading it!

I found this book to be very thorough and up to date.There was some information in there I found useful and some things I did not.But, it gives a good description of the changes that happen during your child’s first year being careful not to be too rigid in saying something should happen at this time or else.
