Book needs to cover diaper changing

The book offers a lot of insight and has helped me in many areas. However, day to day dilemmas arise that only bloggers offer solutions for.

Updating my review with an apology...I said before that ours failed in the first month...but when my husband took it apart there was a diaper in there!  I can't seem to just delete my review, so this is the best I can do.  Will try to update after more use of the new one.

As a mom who has breastfed several children I know the difficulty it can bring. I also understand the ease that it brings once the hurdles are past. This book gives a simple review of information. It went into as much detail about nursing bras then is did how the body works. Obviously our body is rather complicated so to simplify it down to options of bras is ridiculous. While going over potential issues that could hinder breastfeeding it did not mention thrush, inverted nipples, lip tie, posterior or anterior tongue ties or the many other possibilities. The books information on how to position during each feeding is average. If you are a parent who needs to pump and bottle feed due to work or other circumstances the how to store information is not in line with Le Leche League. Towards the end it also suggests that breastfeeding is only important for the first months. While the importance is higher at the beginning WHO recommends breastfeeding for the first 2 years. A much better option for information if you plan to breastfeed is The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding.

I reviewed this book at a discount or free from the seller for my honest review.

I read this book from cover to cover in anticipation of my Chocolate lab giving birth.  My Mon was dripping blood for days after the birth and I was very concerned.  I went to Vet and they said this was normal as long as it was not smelly pus.  Her dripping blood was red but seemed watered.  The book has very little info on this which i would have appreciated.  May Vet said this would probably last a week.  All of this should be in the book as it is a grest concern.  The book needs to specify all of this including the type of discharges and what they indicate.

The book gave a good deal of information.  I liked that it broke it down by ages, as I am trying to wean a toddler.  There were some very helpful tips.  It's easy to read and gives some good advice for dealing with people that can't understand nursing an older child.

Kind of a strange book... Much better potty training books out there

We bought this because our nurse midwife suggested it for our 2 year old.  Really, I do not need a book that shows a sperm fertilizing an egg, or a mother's uterus in cross-section.  Maybe if my first child were older, that would make sense, but it's just too much graphic information beyond her comprehension.  We skip the first half of the book and read the second half about getting the baby's room ready, grandma coming to stay, etc.  It would be nice if the book were designed to be read that way-- making the clinical stuff optional.  Sometimes I think nurse midwives have some really weird views.  For my money, I think there is a lot to be preferred about "How to be a baby, by me, the big sister."  Definitely more our speed.

Like most of the other reviewers I found myself hoping this would be a thorough source for everything involving cloth diapers. The book did have some information, but for the most part it was outdated and very biased. Being a new mom and wanting to find a single unbiased informative source for cloth diapering this was definitely not it.

 Luckily when I ordered this title I also purchased a instructional diaper DVD, Everything Cloth Diaper. This product was great because it covered different types of cloth diapers and brands so you could see all the diverse options. I think the best part was all the instructions on diaper folds. Actually watching someone do it in front of you as opposed to trying to follow drawings made the whole process alot less frustrating. If you want to purchase this book it does have some helpful info, but overall I enjoyed the DVD much more.

I love this book as prayers for myself to pray for my son, but the cover makes it appear that it is prayers to pray with a child. I tried doing that and it is way over a 4 year olds head.

It is a very good book, BUT, kind of unpractical in some ways. Although I really like all the good explanation about crying and the stress mechanism the crying real eases, there are some situations described in the book, especially in the 'baby part' that just do not apply to the daily reality at all. She says, for example, to "never leave a baby cry by himself all alone" . Well, what would you do when you have a 3 years toddler and a 4 months old and you are all alone (when husband is at work or out of town) and the toddler has pooped and you need to change him but the baby wants you in the same time and starts crying once you put him in his crib, or when you try to give them a bath etc. Also, I didn't quite understand how that part with holding your baby while he's crying for half an hour in your arms works. I mean, instinctually, every Mother wants to soothe her baby, what Mother in the world can just sit there calmly and watching him cry. I know for sure not me.
Overall, as I said, it's a researched, maybe sometimes too researched for the tiring brain of a Momma, kind of book but with not too much practical advice. I still recommend the dr. Sears books, as well as dr. Karp's ones.

This book is a very comprehensive guide to raising a baby -> toddler. However, I didn't really care for it. A lot of the information presented seemed anecdotal and not based on scientific research.

The author has a unique background (for instance, having and taking care of a baby in Japan) and I'd be interested in reading a book just about that but I don't want a guide for taking care of my baby to be based largely on the authors experiences and opinions. One specific example is that the section on vaccinations gave both options (vaccinating and choosing not to) equal weight and a book that is going to hedge on that just isn't for me. I prefer a guide that is based on science and research and too often parts of this felt like pseudo-science.

It's also quite a big book so hard to lounge with.

The book should be titled that it's a coloring book or should be colored b/c it's jumbled with all that information on each two page spread. It's very informative and I like the way certain things overlap, but difficult for toddlers (like my 2 year old) to process. I would recommend for older children - over 5 or 6.

This is a great book for children to flip when they are learning how to turn pages.  It is also a good diaper changing book
