Goes Beyond Telling You How Your Child Is Matching Up To Their Peers

This is one of those handy books on what your child should be doing at different stages of development, based on averages. Something that either gives you great pride when you child beats those averages, or causes stress when they don't. But, beyond just telling you when your child should say "mama", /Baby By The Numbers/ includes many helpful sections: Sample schedules for transitioning to solid foods, common food allergies and what common foods cause them, and a really good section on common childhood illnesses and how to manage them (or when to take your child to the doctor.) There is even a short, but well-explained and illustrated, section on baby first aid. A well-designed, organized, and researched guide for new parents.
