What Customers Say About Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care: 8th Edition:

My daughter already is quoting Dr. Since I raised my children on Dr. Spock to me. Spock I had to buy a copy for my daughter who is a new mother. Updated for today's parents, it is bigger and even better. I recommend it for all parents. Great advice not just for raising new babies but children of all ages.

This is the 3rd edition of this book I have obtained. I had a new one for each of my children, now this one is for my grandchild. Great reference book to have on hand.

I raised my three children as babies with this book and it was what I turned to the most when I had questions. The new version is jam packed - one for me as a new "to be" grandmother and the other for the new couple expecting.

It's a good guide for those new parents.My wife and i love it, a lot of good recommendations.AdvicesFrom the beggining to teenager.Good book.You may wat to have it

Use this book as a reference if you are a new parent. You will not be disappointed.
