Review: 💯 BEST BABY BOOK - Purchased this for my two daughter in laws. Have searched for years after receiving one myself 30 years ago when my children were born. Hands down the BEST guide and informative things all new moms want and need to know! Review: They say parenting doesn't come with a manual, but "they" haven't seen this book - Comprehensive while still pretty concise. Good quality pages and cover. Feels like a textbook, and is reputable enough to be one. Covers practically anything you can think of for the first 5 years of child development. Very reassuring to have on hand for new (and nerdy lol) parents, guardians, and caregivers

Great for new parents
I bought this book for a gift for some new parents. They use it frequently for go-to advice from a credible source. This is a great gift.

Breadth versus depth of information
I got this when my oldest was around five because I wasn't sure if his behavior was developmentally appropriate and I thought this book would tell me. This book has a lot more than what appropriate milestones are, but I did not find the information to be as in depth as I wanted on that particular topic for his age. This is more of an encyclopedia of information on many different topics regarding baby and childcare. I would usually just Google to find information like this, but it's no fault of the book--it's just not what I was looking for.

Prefect gift for new parents
I used to have this book when my kids were young. I love that the developmental milestones lists. I like that it covers up to age 5. I like the practical advice in an easy-to-read style. I bought this as a gift for my daughter who just had a baby because I used this book all the time when she was little. Best baby care book I owned. Of course, it's updated!

Excellent source of information for child behavior, nutrition, cognitive development and more!
This book is a valuable, comprehensive source of information for the health and well being of young children, for adults with little background in child care, medical training, or pediatric psychology/physiology. This book has great diagrams, menu ideas, development milestones, interactive child/adult developmental play ideas and illness identification. I would highly recommend this book for new parents, or anybody interested in caring for young children.

Packaging was so pathetic that it was all torn when I received
The book I ordered is of 1000 pages. The packaging was too thin to carry this heavy book. It was made of literally just thin paper whereas you should have provided it in a box. Package was already torn when I received it.
