- Great book, a little negative than the previous books!
I am a first time mom and loved the first two books of the "What to expect" series, but I found this one to be a bit negative regarding the milestine reached. I was reading the first chapter and it said that they MUST reach "Milestone X" by 13.5 months or they need to be seen by the doctor and checked for abnormalities...FIRST OFF...milestones are reached at different time by each kid! If you child isn't walking by age 3 then maybe there is a problem, but if he isn't walking by 13.5 months, it's probably because he is content with crawling, or he is REALLY smart and knows that you will carry him, so why try! Some say that's a "dumb baby" I say that that is a "Crazy Smart" baby! Why walk around when someone can carry you! We need to learn from babies!

- Definitely outdated
I agree with other recent reviewers that this book is very outdated, especially as regards their recommendation on weaning at one year. Not only does the AAP say nowadays that breastfeeding should continue for at least the entire first year, but also that it should continue for as long afterwards as is mutually desired by mother and child. Moreover, the World Health Organization recommends that breastfeeding along with complementary foods continue for up to two years OR BEYOND.

It is serious misinformation to state, as the authors do, that breastmilk has no nutritional value beyond the first year. It still contains many important nutrients and conveys important immunological benefits (in other words, it still functions to pass your immunities to your child and helps to prevent your child from getting sick!)

They really need to do a revised edition that includes this extremely important health ... Read More

- Incredibly outdated
Unfortunately, the first section I read of this book was the section on weaning. It left a pretty bad taste in my mouth, making it rather hard to enjoy the rest of the book. And for the non-believers, The American Academy of Pediatrics has this to say about nursing beyond one year of age:
"Increased duration of breastfeeding confers significant health and developmental benefits for the child and the mother, especially in delaying return of fertility (thereby promoting optimal intervals between births)."

- Great for a step by step review
I enjoyed the previous books in the series. And this does not disappoint. Great book, you don't feel like you have to read 20 chapters to get to where your kid is at in development.
