It's Sunday after dark. Your baby is sick, hurt, or acting strangely, and the doctor won't be in until tomorrow. How can you find out what to do when your healthcare professionals are unreachable? You may only need to go as far as your bookshelf. The revised edition of Caring for Your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5 (the American Academy of Pediatrics' reference book for infancy through preschool), provides a wealth of authoritative child-care information in an easy-to-use format.
The first half of this hefty text serves as a comprehensive parenting manual, and includes a month-by-month guide to the first year, nutritional information, basic care instructions, and physical, emotional, and social developmental milestones for children up to 5 years old. While the American Academy of Pediatrics represents the mainstream child-rearing philosophies embraced by thousands of baby doctors, it does not reflect the entire gamut of child-rearing theory. (There's no discussion, for instance, of breast-feeding past the first year or co-sleeping.) The second half of the book includes a thorough, easy-to-navigate emergency first-aid section, plus detailed information about childhood illnesses, immunization schedules and side effects, and family structures, as well as a discussion of behavioral issues. Caring for Your Baby and Young Child is useful, sensible, and carefully researched, and makes a trustworthy addition to any parent's bookshelf. --Ericka Lutz

Excellent guide.......2007-10-10
I love this book. I refer to it all the time when I have any questions about my daughters medical conditions and phisical development.
A MUST HAVE!!!!!!.......2007-10-03
I got this book for free when I signed up for BabyClub at Publix. And I love this & have used it A LOT!!!! It is a must for any parent & even grandparent!!!!!
Very disappointing. I would have expected better.......2007-09-30
It's unfortunate that the American Academy of Pediatrics would use this book to push their political agendas about gun control. On page 394 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.
We received this book as a gift, and I'm sorry that anyone spent money on it.
My "Bible" for the first 5 years and then some!.......2007-09-14
We bought this book when my 9-year-old was an infant and still use it when she gets sick. I also buy this for every friend and colleague who is expecting. It's true what the summary said. In the middle of the night, when my child spiked a fever or was screaming due to a mystery illness (and couldn't talk yet), I'd have this book open in my lap while calling the advice nurse. And the information from both sources would usually sync up. Sometimes it was just another great way to gain a balanced perspective on what was "normal" when I was a new mom.
This book has been a good guide for me .......2007-09-14
Definitely a must for every mother or father who wants to know about his/her daughter/son's growth yearwise. Everything is explained in detail...
A big book and a bit heavy to carry around..but if you are not moving around with this book, then a good buy.

Better understanding of preemie .......2007-05-05
This was a great book to read while my daughter was in the hospital. It had a good flow and helpful information. The only part that I didn't like was the section on breastfeeding. The author seemed to have a bad experience with her preemie and breastfeeding and her discouragement really came out in this section. I guess it was good though because it motivated me to touch base with a lactation consultant so that I would not share in her breastfeeding disappointment. Overall this book did help me to better understand my new and unexpected life with my preemie.
Great book for preemie parents!.......2005-03-22
We bought this when our son was born 10 weeks early. This book is very well written and easy to understand. It takes you through the early NICU days all the way to school age. This book was very helpful to us during the NICU time because when it first happened we were clueless (and we sometimes found it hard to get answers from doctors). It gives you information so that you know what questions to ask your baby's doctor. This book explained pretty much anything preemie related.
Highly recommended for any preemie parent!
The Best Guide through preemie parenthood.......2002-01-29
I am both a physician and a mother of a son who arrived 11 weeks early. This book has helped in every facet of my premature parenthood from breastfeeding (or, in my case, my ongoing attempts) to just feeling I was not the only preemie parent out there. In addition, the explanations of the various medical problems premature babies may face are excellent. Truly, a book that every premature parent would benefit from having.
How to Keep Your Sanity During an Especially Tough Situation.......2001-07-28
Our son was born at 26 weeks (3 months early) and was in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) until one day past his due date. We were given this book after he'd been there one month. Let me tell you what a life-saver it was! We had been given a "crash course" in the care delivered to a premature infant... very scary stuff. Wires, machines, noise, drugs -- and in the middle of it all this unbelievably tiny human being who is your child. This book took much of the fear away and instead educated us. Preemies don't stop being preemies when they come home! This book gives the technical data in an easy to understand format that is not condescending and also focuses on the emotional as well as physical needs of the baby. Additionally, it gives contacts and information on potential problems, how to spot them early, and how to handle them. There is also a good referal list in the back. I would recommend this book not only to preemie parents, but to anyone in contact with a preemie and their family. PS. As of this writing, our son is one year old and doing great!
Better books out there.......2001-07-18
I haven't used this book much at all. Books by Joseph Garcia-Prats and Dana Wechsler Linden were much more helpful.
Amazon.com
Parents of the approximately 11 percent of babies born prematurely (prior to 37 weeks gestation) will find this title a highly valuable resource guide, offering detailed medical information and emotional support. Authors Alan H. Klein, M.D., and Jill Alison Ganon, who deem prematurity "a different beginning," combine the experience of Klein's 25 years as a pediatrician and neonatologist with the assuring point of view of parents who have been there.
Having a baby early births a host of medical complications, such as respiratory, vision, and hearing problems. Parents of premature infants are often plunged unprepared into the mysterious world of medical acronyms, for example: NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit); RDS (Respiratory Distress Syndrome); CLD (chronic lung disease); and ROP (retinopathy of prematurity). In chapters focusing on respiratory, neurological, and nutritional needs, as well as vision and hearing problems, Klein and Ganon describe medical conditions, treatments, and options so parents can make the best decisions. Chapters on changing expectations, parenting a child in the neonatal unit, and taking baby home balance the medical with the emotional issues of parenting a premature child. "Pessimism serves no purpose whatsoever," writes Klein. Indeed, the true-life stories and photographs of premature infants developing into healthy, rounded babies and children offer an overwhelming sense of hope and encouragement. --Ericka Lutz

Customer Reviews:
Disapointed.......2002-08-13
I bought this book and was very excited when it arrived. When I started to read the book I became very disapointed. I felt that the book skimmed over the subjects. I thought I got a better explaination from the NICU unit then this book. I frowned at that the book only talked about breastfeeding moms and nothing about formula feeding moms. Overall the best way to describe my thoughts about this book is very disapointed. I hope this will help those moms out there that had a premie born before 34 to 36 weeks.
A reliable source of informatrion presented realistically.......2001-11-09
As the mom of 29 week twins, this book filled in the gaps when the NICU staff didn't have the time (or if I wasn't ready to hear all the details). It allowed us the time to read the details and think of our questions before approaching our nurses. We knew in advance that our twins would be early and we skimmed the book to get a handle of what might be to come. It was frightening but prepared us for what we were to experience and it was realistic (difficult to read in some sections but true to life). This is not a book for those expecting a pre-term infant (or I advise you only to read the chapters aiming at this gestational age). It is aimed at those with quite premature babies. Our boys ran the gamut of what was described here - some were only scares (thankfully) but others crashed into our lives including a diagnoses at 6 mths of age of cerebral palsy. This is the realities of prematurity and you need to be prepared that this might happen to your child when making decisions for them.
Thanks for everything.......2001-02-26
We, My Wife and I just want to thanks the Writers of this book for helping us to stay relax during our 2 and half months that our baby MONICA was on the NICU. We were very tired when we get home every night and then reading the things that happens to our baby those days. The book was very helpful to us even with the bad real facts like the dead of some baby's. We never thought that something like this situation can happen to us, and I remember that one day we were at the hospital and reading a magazine, in a little spot of a page I found a review of this book, I showed to my wife and the next thing we did after living the hospital was to order this book. Again we wish the writers a BIG THANKS for everything on this book. My Wife AMALIA, our precious baby MONICA and I.
Good Source of Information for Parents of Preemies.......2000-08-09
While this book was at times difficult to read, it was very informative and helped fill in the gaps between our daily talks with the NICU pediatricians. It's suited for both the parents of preemies (34 weeks or less) or pre-term babies (34-36 weeks); there is a chapter dedicated to the latter, and much of the material is applicable to both. Hopefully you'll never have a need for this book, but if you do it's a good one.
Hope and information for parents of premature babies!.......1999-06-12
This book offers a comprehensive guide for the complexities facing parents' of premature infants. It is a marvelously optimistic and understanding presentation of the challenges and opportunities for surmounting them written for families' experiencing the birth and care of premature infants. Active participation of parents' in the often unfamiliar setting of the intensive care nursery is guided and encouraged by the authors, one of whom has specialized in the care of premature infants for more than 25 years. Strategies for coping with this emotional and complex life event are discussed with a rare combination of empathy and medically accurate detail. Ways in which parents and families can be advocates for their infants both in the nursery and later at home are presented by mothers and fathers, in their own words, who have cared for their own premature babies. Sources of support for parents are recounted by the authors and within these parents' stories. I highly recommend this book to families seeking reassurance and accessible knowledge about the changes and adjustments accompanying premature birth.

What I wish I knew before I got pregnant........2004-06-26
My son was born prematurely June 10, 2004. My 30 week ultrasound came back showing that my ambionic fluid was low and my baby only weighed 2 lbs. 7 ounces. The next day I was sent by my OB/GYN to meet with a perinatologist. Within 15 minutes of meeting the specialist, I was told my baby would be born witihin 24 to 48 hours and was admitted to the hospital 30 minutes later. My son was born via emergency csection 27 hours later. I was 31 weeks into my pregancy. He will spend 9 weeks in neonatal ICU before he can come home. This so far, has been the hardest and most heartbreaking part of my entire pregnancy.
I am 30 years old and was diagnosed with chronic high blood pressure two years ago. This book is a step by step account of what happened to me. I developed pregnancy induced hypertension which turned into preeclampsia. None of my doctors (family practicioner or OB/GYN) told me how dangerous and high risk my pregnancy would be. I wish I knew then what this book has taught me now, it has been a real eyeopener and lifesaver.
essential for (expecting) preemie-parents.......2001-11-21
Upon hearing you're pregnant, most people will only have images of perfect babies. When hearing something is going wrong with your pregnancy, most people have no idea what to expect.
When I heared I was going to have my baby within half an hour, at 26 weeks of pregnancy... I had no idea what was laying ahead of me.
This book prepares you on what to expect when you have a high-risk pregnancy and takes you trough the 24 hours after delivery, your preemies growth and maturation, the neonatal unit, bringing your baby home and later-life development. There is also a part on babies with special needs and a part about when things go wrong.
From the many lonely hours I could not be with my baby, I spent many reading this book. The stories of other parents helped me survivng the nicu and the many charts and statistics helped me to get an image on what to expect.
Thank you very much for this book.
The book for a high risk pregnancy and the NICU.......2001-07-18
A very helpful book for reading during your high-risk pregnancy and when your baby is in the NICU. I did think that the anecdotes about women's experiences with terbutaline and magnesium sulfate were unnecessarily alarming. This book complemented Linden's Essential Guide for Parnets of Premature Babies nicely.
Helpful beyond words.......2001-04-30
This is THE book I wished I'd known about in advance when we developed problems later in my pregnancy. I actually think anyone expecting a baby where there is a possibility of it becoming a high-risk pregnancy (and face it, that could be any of us, right?) should read this book so that you can be prepared to be the best possible advocate for yourself and your child in the NICU and during the transition out. It will also help you understand the complexities of what goes on in the NICU so you can work well with the staff caring for your infant.
Essential reading.......2000-11-21
This book has been a God-send. Its clear, comprehensive text, helpful illustrations, and authoritative advice (the lead author is a top Houston neonatologist) is just what my husband and I needed when we found out our baby was going to be born prematurely.
We especially liked all of the stories and testimony from parents, people who have experienced the fear and uncertainty of high-risk pregnancy. Their stories are incredibly reassuring. We needed to know we weren't alone.
This book is a must-have for any parent whose pregnancy is not going as planned.
Customer Reviews:
Great intro to RIE.......2007-07-15
This book is a great introduction to the RIE philosophy. If you think treating your baby with respect, allowing him the space to explore and learning to read his cues are worthy parenting goals, this is the book for you. It is short and to the point. The writing is not as good as Your Self-Confident Baby: How to Encourage Your Child's Natural Abilities from the Very Startwhich was written my Magda Gerber (the founder of RIE) along with journalist Allison Johnson. That said, it is a great summery of the RIE concepts.

mixed feelings.......2007-06-30
This is a bizarre book in that some chapters made perfect sense and others completely missed the mark. For example, her ideas about cribs and diapers were very rigid and traditional in a bad way. She actually called the family bed a fad. That's one of the many places she totally lost me; that's ridiculous. Also, she assumes that parents will be diapering the baby for 3 years, not taking into account that most of the world does not diaper in the western way, but instead practices EC. Therefore her views on toilet training were very limited and underestimated the infant's capabilities. There's also a LOT of leaving the babies alone in this book, it was excessive. Other separate chapters, for example about taking your baby outside, or observing baby carefully were beautiful. I have never disagreed more and agreed more with ideas in the same book before. I think the ideas about letting child develop naturally at his/her own pace can be found better (without the bizarro stuff in between) in "You are your child's first teacher" which explains the good ideas in this book, such as avoiding battery operated toys and television for children and creating a peaceful environment.
Gerber.......2007-05-09
This Gerber book of instuctions helps the parents and teachers a lot. Refreshes what our Center policies are all about.
Our Secret Guide to successful child.......2006-09-16
My wife and I followed Magda's philosphy (RIE) for our daughter since she was 3 months old. Now that she's almost 3 years old, all we can say is this book made us better parents, and as a result, our daughter is a healthy, self-confident and social child that she is today. Even our 6 hour drive from LA to San Franciso, she required no DVDS nor annoying noise making toys to occupy herself -- instead she was happy to entertain herself by singing, looking at the scenaries, and asking questions about what she saw. Many parents tell us how perfect our daughter is -- and it's all because of this book. If you follow this book, you realize that good parenting doesn't mean providing passive entertainment for the child, but to provide environment where she can grow at her own pace and explore the world as it meant to be. This book changed our life for better, and made pareting easy for the first time parents like us.
Trust Yourself, Not Magda Gerber.......2006-06-17
This book has totally outraged me. Sure, the suggestions for talking to your baby as a person and explaining what you are going to do are great...but most of us do that anyway. Gerber's ideas (and the way she relates them) are scientifically unfounded. She claims that taking your baby for a walk is a "frenetic" way of parenting, and completely misses the point of safe and healthy "babywearing". Her ideas about giving infants "space" simply don't match up with infant development, and the examples she cites in the book are almost cultish comments by parents describing how they ignore their own instincts and recount what "Magda says" and how they "trust Magda". If you want a book that gives hard evidence and cites sources try "Our Babies, Ourselves: How Biology and Culture Shape the Way We Parent."

The author of the bestselling Your Pregnancy Week by Week returns with possibly the first book of its kind, Your Pregnancy Recovery Guide, which focuses on the physical and emotional concerns during the postpartum period. Yes, most pregnancy books do include this type of information, but for women who'd like to avoid the scary sections on all that can go wrong during pregnancy but realize there are plenty of things they need to learn once the baby is born, this book is a practical choice. Dr. Curtis, a gynecologist and father of five children, covers afterpains and specific steps to take after either a cesarean or vaginal delivery; warning signs that indicate you or your baby should see the doctor; breast- and bottle-feeding; nutrition for the breast-feeding mother; and exercise. He also includes tips for keeping the relationship with your partner close during this stressful time; birth control (yes, you need it even if you're breastfeeding); and issues surrounding childcare and returning to work.

A good resource Guide.......2006-01-26
I haven't had my baby yet but I've got lots of time on my hands to read so I picked up this book - and I found it to be very encouraging and informative. I recommend reading it while you are pregnant so you know what to expect. As to the other reviews, quite frankly I don't "get" why people keep recommending 'What To Expect When You're Expecting". I found it to be very poorly written - plus a recent article in the New York Times called it outdated, incorrect and said that most doctors don't recommend it or approve of it. At least Bouncing Back speaks to pregnant women as if we have a brain - which is more than I can say for "What To Expect!" !
Buy Bouncing Back - it's not new, but you'll like it!
Don't Bother.......2002-08-21
This book attempts to be an all in one source for your post-partum recovery. While it does cover everything from breastfeeding problems to losing weight to burping your baby, it's not done well. It tries to cover too much information in too short of a book, the result is a lot of subjects, but not a lot of subastance. It's probably better to get a separate book on breastfeeding (Dr. Sear's Breastfeeding book and the Breastfeeding Answer Book by La Leche League are excellent), a separate book on baby care, etc... I even found the post-partum section in "What to Expect the First Year" to be more informative and helpful than in "Bouncing Back After Your Pregnancy". Incidentally, "What to Expect the First Year" is another excellent source for baby care issues, it's far more in-depth than this particular book. I'm so glad I checked this out at the library rather than buying it, the cover of this book has a lot of appeal, it's just too bad the content doesn't match.
Fundamental information, but useful.......2001-01-28
This book concisely covers the basics of recovering from childbirth. Chapters include information on everything from taking care of yourself following the birth of your child to nutrition and exercise. This was one of several I kept on hand to reference.

shallow and unprofessional.......2007-05-12
We bought this at week 28 and we were very disappointed. the book is shallow and very unprofessional. there are even contrdictions within the book itself. It was written by a monther of twins with no professional background and or education related to raising twins, medicine, or psychology and it can be felt as you read through the book!
Sorry - for us this book got a very clear "F"
Great book!.......2006-08-06
Very helpful, without all the added fluff of other books. Gives many useful tips on making life with multiples easier.
Entertaining and practical........2006-03-11
Got this book as a gift....great fun! I found time to read it while on bedrest and got a lot of good and useful information out of it while at the same time, got a bunch of belly laughs out of it. Great practical points, money saving tips and just downright entertaining! The best part about it is that you can read it in tid bits and can pick up again at any time. No need to study and really think....bedrest wasn't so bad thanks to this amusing book!
Borrow it.......2006-03-07
Maybe I'm expecting too much out of the books I've been reading to prepare for our twin girls due in June, but I haven't found one that appears to be something I'll refer to often. This book is a very quick read and somewhat informative. I'm looking forward to receiving my copy of "Ready or Not, Here We Come" by Elizabeth Lyons - that book has been recommended to me by several twin moms I've talked to. If you are pregnant with twins or more, I really recommend the book "When You're Expecting Twins, Triplets or Quads." This is a book I have referred to throughout my pregnancy and it is another book that was recommended to me by several twin moms.
Lacks Depth, Borrow - don't buy.......2005-02-09
From the reviews and excerpt, I was expecting more insight into the specific challenges of multiples. Either there truly aren't that many differences, or this author was just too busy to go into any depth (understandable). This is basically a collection of two-sentence blurbs on everything under the sun. You will not find much that you have not seen in other books, on-line chatrooms, or from talking to 1 or 2 moms of multiples. Save money and borrow a copy if you have an hour or so to kill. That's about how long it will take to read.
