The Second Edition incorporates the most recent developments in pediatric medicine.

The book is more reader-friendly than ever, with updated cultural references, and the new material brings more in-depth coverage to issues such as newborn screening, home births and the resulting at-home newborn care, vitamins and vaccines, milk allergies, causes of colic, sleep problems, SIDS, returning to work, dealing with siblings, weaning, sippy cups, the expanded role of the father, and much more. An updated cover and all-new black-and-white line illustrations complement the fresher book with a fresher look.

Format:Paperback
I must say I find it surprising that a book geared towards parenting in the 21st century (north America) is so anti-breastfeeding in its overall rhetoric (especially after the first year of life). The associations between nursing and destructive, addictive behavior is particularly unsettling. I would say that were I formula feeding my baby this book would be a better pick, but their position on extended breastfeeding (beyond a year...I mean really??) makes me suspicious of an outdated position on other matters.

This book was invaluable in diagnosing my son with reflux. The sickness lists at the back alone are worth the cost of the book.
