Caring for Your Baby and Young Child, 7th Edition: Birth to Age 5

Gift for my expecting daughter. She wanted this for a gift. Good book for expectant 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!

This is one of the best resources I have found on caring for and raising children. Whether you are a new or experienced parent, or like me, a new grandparent looking to catch up on things that have changed since you raised your children, this book is for you. Worth every penny!

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.

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

Has a good amount of generalized information and clinical data for parents. For those seeking deeper knowledge and information on specific topics you have to do additional research

I was gifted this book 21 years ago and have gifted the newest editions to first time moms. I found that while googling is helpful it can lead you down a rabbit hole while this book is on point when it comes to when to reach out to your pediatrician and when you need to calm down. Definitely a good resource and when you are bombarded with too many opinions ir suggestions it can be intimidating so gift it to yourself or others and ease your mind with this book.

Given to us as a gift with our first kid. Absolutely great information and advice on what to do when panic is nearby.
