Reassuring answers to hundreds of questions: What's the best kind of car seat for my newborn? How do I know if my baby's getting enough to eat? How can I tell if my baby is really sick? When should I call the doctor? Should I sign my baby up for classes? Should I be worried that my baby isn't crawling yet? How do I cope with my colicky baby? The only book on infant care to address the physical as well as the emotional needs of the entire family.
