A real gem, I think anyone who takes care of kids should read this! What really goes on inside those baby heads and hearts? So easy to read, lots of practical tips, and unlike all the other parenting books it shows you the research that proves their point (not just someone's opinion!) This will make a big difference in your parenting philosophy, such as how to respond to crying, etc...

"Feeding is parenting." Your feeding relationship with your child is so important. Babies and kids need more trust and less pressure, it turns out. It's hard not to be pushy when it comes to feeding, but power struggles only result in picky eaters and no-fun all around. One of my must-reads.

Not much fun, but you gotta do your homework on this hot-button issue... Dr. Sears gives all the facts and options, leaving the decision up to parents. Our baby is on his "alternative" schedule which will leave her fully vaccinated, but spaces out the shots to reduce risk of side effects.

Yes this is not nearly as much fun as those planners that are basically shopping lists, but it really covers the bases. That reminds me, we still need to make a will!! You owe it to baby to at least glance through this one and create a shorter to-do list.

Some much-needed laughs! Hilarious perspective on everything you never wanted to know about your baby's first year of life.
