The Sears Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby from Birth to Age Two Paperback – December 6, 2022

If you get one book on raising an infant and toddler, this is the one you get. You don’t read it from cover to cover, but rather look up whatever you need in the index and review that page. We used it more than online because it was quick and clear and concise.

All those reference needs such as taking baby's temperature and what they do at certain ages. The warm writing style lets you know they care about parents as well as babies. They never undermine breastfeeding because they breastfed all their children and understand the lifelong difference.

Excellent and informative. A must read for any family.

Informative and helpful for expectant mothers

This book has saved me so much anxiety, stress, and probably ER trips! I love the approach they use to parenting, and the insight they give into baby development. The section of infant sickness and emergencies is very helpful. I’ve bought this for multiple friends who have had babies after me, and will continue to buy it as a shower gift for all new moms. It is a must have!

Love this book. My faithful companion through out the first year of my first baby. I found so much reliable and easy to comprehend information, but also great tips and ideas on how to approach different issues that come along with parenting.

Such a great book for anyone expecting a newborn!! My husband and I are expecting our first and we've been reading this in the evenings to help prepare us for the big transition. It has been so helpful with practical information about everything baby related. It lays out all the facts in a very friendly inviting way that's easy to read, helping us make descisions together about things like circumcision, etc. And also talks about things like bonding with baby which helps us get excited about meeting our little one for the first time. A very nice balance of practical, yet keeping a very positive view. Deffinatly recomend!Side note: there is also stuff in there about introducing new baby to older siblings etc. so I would recommend even if this is not your first or if baby is already born. There's literally everything you need to know in there!

I always give this as a baby shower gift b cause it has practical advice for baby’s first year. Parents find it very helpful.
