This book is a must for new parents and beats dr. spock!

Ok, you find squiggly worm-looking things in your baby's poop - oh my god what is IT? This was the only book to tell me that it was from bananas and not some jungle-disease! Also, when my son's bottom was covered with clear jello-looking granules, this book explained that it came from the diaper and not my boy! That is the power of this book - when you are freaking out, it tells you whether it is normal or you should call the doctor - in a very concise way so you are not leafing through pages and pages of verbage like you have to with Dr. Spock. A must for new parents!!!

Fantastic book!! I'm *really* upset that it's out of print!

This book has been a godsend to me. It is a quick, understandable reference to use at the times when you need things to be quick and easily understandable. I left my copy at my mother-in-law's, out of the country...now I can't find another one. I also wanted to buy it as a gift for someone. It has a pull-out CPR/FirstAid chart, in addition to everything else
