The Sears Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby from Birth to Age Two

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!

Amazing book, like a encyclopedia for us, has important information

I wish I would have got this book as soon as I found out I was pregnant. Must read!

My midwife recommended this book to me after my son’s birth and I didn’t hesitate to order it. So far it’s very informative and has a ton of answers to a ton of my questions! I have not had the chance to read the entire book yet however, it’s quite the read. When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the book! They aren’t kidding when they call it the “baby bible”. It’s for a bit of everything in it.

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.

This book helped me get through two pregnancies and 2 early childhoods with knowledge, wisdom, grace, and compassion. It's like a big, reassuring hug when you need it most. It was so supportive and helpful that I've given it to many friends as a baby shower gift. Thank you, Sears family!

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!

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.

I bought this book when I had my son 22 years ago and I just bought a copy for my niece who is having a baby this spring. I’m a big believer in attachment parenting and this author is the expert. Great advice on parenting, wonderful writing style

This was my favorite book 28 years ago and I bought the updated version for the next generation. A life saver when you are trying to decide if he or she is sick enough to warrant a trip to emergency. Lots of tips on what is 'normal'. Excellent breastfeeding info!

My daughters have used this book for about 18 yrs. It constantly is revising and updating information and I’ve continued to give this as a baby shower gift.
