[.ca] The KidsHealth Guide for Parents (ISBN 0809298724)

A Fantastic Book!:
As a father and a physician I have seen many guides written for new parents. I have been disappointed in most because of their redundancy and, often, lack of practical informatioxn. This book stands out as absolutely unique both in the quality and clarity of the writing but also because of its intuitive and almost uncanny relevance to the actual experience of being a parent. I would recommend no other resource to people who find themselves in this joyful and terrifying situation.

My sister's baby shower:
I got this book for my sister for her baby shower. This is her first baby and she really liked it!

A Wonderful Book for all New Parents:
The KidsHealth Guide for Parents is a comprehensive and user-friendly guide that is a must-have for parents (the grandparents like it, too). It's filled with practical information that cover everything from basic baby care, breastfeeding & sleeping to routine health care and safety for kids through age 5, common illnesses, behavior and development, play, parenting tips, and more. A pleasure to read, and nicely organized - lots of interesting sidebars, charts, and brief sections that make the book easy to browse through and read in between feedings and changings (and the occasional nap!). Thank you!

A Great Guide for Parents!:
Being a teacher I have often utilized the KidsHealth website and found it to be an excellent and trustworthy resource. Now that I am an expecting parent I was pleased to find that the KidsHealth pediatricians recently published a guide for parents: pregnancy through age 5. The book is wonderful. The text is clear and easy to understand and the information is current. I especially liked the section on breast-feeding. I highly recommend this book to any parent or parent-to-be!
