Not Yet Read but… 39 years ago the original was an invaluable tool for me as a new mother. This copy is for my daughter who has not had her baby yet but she thinks it will be very helpful. I am convinced that it will be a lot more helpful than she realizes once the baby is born.
Terrific Reference source! I raised my 3 kids with the help of this book! If they were doing something âdifferentâ or looked âdifferentâ….off to Dr Spock I went….My kids are 34, 30 and 29 and are all healthy and happy thanks in part to this book! My oldest is now expecting TWINS and this is the first gift Iâve purchased for her and the new arrivals. Letâs hope she goes here first before asking âDr. Googleâ whatâs up!
An Owner’s Manual for Babies We’ve use this book with our kids and now our grandkids. Not read cover to cover, rather used like a reference manual. Look up issues and get great advice. Sure, the web works too, but the book is really well organized and provided our family with a lot of help.
