Awesome book!Review Date: 2008-10-08
Fabulously helpfulReview Date: 2008-09-16
I now plan to buy this book for all my friends who are having babies and planning to continue their careers out of the home. I would also recommend Working Without Weaning but if you're only going to buy one book, this one will tell you most everything you need and it's so darn affordable! It's also well written and backed up by research.
Hurray for a couple of super-moms who managed to pump AND work AND somehow find time to write a book! Most books are written by stay-at-home moms who could never understand the pump/work dynamic. (No offense to them but even my local LLL leader couldn't help me because she has never experienced working out of the home 40 hrs/wk, away from her baby, dealing with pumping and storing milk and all the rest.
This book covers everything from starting the breastfeeding relationship on the right foot, introducing bottles, buying the right pump, negotiating time/space with your employer, sleep-deprivation, anxiety about being separated from your baby, the challenge of juggling career and family priorities, the challenge of being perceived as "less productive" at work now that you're juggling everything else. It has a nice balance of informative narrative from the authors, interspersed between the journal entries of the "Milk Mamas" group sharing the lactation room at IBM. I wish I had colleagues in my workplace to share this kind of journal with but reading their comments made me feel like I was not alone in my struggles.
Unlike other books I encountered, this book does not start from the premise that new moms should consider quitting their job or giving up their careers. It starts with the understanding that you are going back to work, either by choice or necessity, and aims to give you all the tools you need to successfully continue providing your baby with breastmilk for as long as you want to. Towards the end, it addresses the potential alternatives such as flex schedules, part time work, or putting your career on hold. But it doesn't start off making you feel like you're a bad mother if you go back to work.
Now that I've read this book (and a couple others), I just know I'm going to be more successful with pumping and working this time around with my second baby. In retrospect, it helped me see that I actually did a pretty good job the first time around (100% breastmilk until 6 months; daughter weened herself at 9 months when my milk supply dried up). I just felt like such a failure and like I lacked the kind of support I needed.
Definitely buy this book NOW and read it cover to cover if you are going to be a working mom! You'll enjoy and appreciate it.

I don't know how I would have managed without this book!Review Date: 2008-11-20
The thing about this book is that it offers practical, sensible advice while helping you understand what is actually going on with your child developmentally, so that the advice makes sense. White has years of research and observation to call on, and his advice is sound and founded on this research. The book is broken up into various stages by age, and presented in logical sections.
This is not a book aimed at any particular developmental issue or problem, but paints a general picture of how babies develop under normal circumstances. He offers practical advice on how to help your baby's development relevant to their developmental stage, though there is no particular emphasis on pushing your child to reach any specific potential. Rather, you are encouraged to understand what will help baby most while being reassured that variance in level of development is normal.
Some issues that are covered in this book that I have found helpful were sibling rivalry, what toys to buy (and which to avoid), and how to effectively and humanely discipline very small children as well as teaching them to go to sleep on their own.
I strongly recommend this book for anyone with a new baby, and suggest getting it as soon as possible. You don't need to read it cover to cover, but can read each stage as your baby approaches it.

Dumb title, but a good book for new parents!Review Date: 2008-04-03
Since we had experienced a few years of infertility treatment, I wasn't too optimistic about our chances of becoming parents anytime soon. Therefore, I had not been reading up on parenting/what to expect. I bought this book at my local book store (for more $ than Amazon, unfortunately)and found it very helpful. Information is easy to find--we referred to it frequently in the first few weeks of being parents and then here and there when things came up. I gave it to my sister now that she has had a baby---she has found it very helpful, too.
Great book...Review Date: 2008-02-28
Perfect for busy parentsReview Date: 2005-09-21
Common issues are all covered as well as more unusual things, such as car seat crying, taking your baby to a restaurant, traveling with your baby, and dealing with unwanted advice. No matter your style, this book gives good information and is very, very easy to use with an ABC arrangement. Highly recommended!

trying to find a book about the impact a 2nd child will have on your family?Review Date: 2008-03-23
Flowers' narrative voice is pleasant without wasting your time. As with all too many books about breastfeeding, the format is a little large for holding comfortably while nursing. The voices of many, many mothers who have Already Been There are included within a structure that lets you look up an answer to a question you have quickly.

A necessary book that is long overdue!Review Date: 2008-08-18
When our second child came along, now 9 weeks old, and his reflux was WORSE--showing up on the day of his birth, no less--I knew I was going to need more help than our pediatrician had offered the first time. I went online to do research and stumbled across this book. It offers commonsense help and experience. The nearest pediatric gastro is 1 hour away from us and our baby screams from the moment we put him in the carseat to the moment we take him out. Being able to take this book to our (new and more openminded) pediatrician to discuss treatment options was critical to his care.
We are about to try our third reflux medication because the first two simply did not offer much relief to our son who seems to be on the extreme end of spectrum. Without all this good information about treatment options and approaches to positioning etc, we would be in the dark or getting our information from the internet. I would much rather get my information from a health care professional!
Dissemination of this critical information about reflux is so important! I am so angered by the pediatricians who basically patted me on the head and gave me the "colic talk." Telling me to get outside help, go for walks, etc. etc. Outside help isn't always readily available and taking time for ME sounds ludicrous when the reason my baby was crying was because he was in PAIN! These doctors seem to think that they can just call something colic and brush aside your concerns. But anyone in pain deserves relief--adult, child, infant, even pet!
Babies who cry and fuss all day long don't do so for their own entertainment or just to spite their parents. They do so because they are in pain. And it is a pediatricians job to help you manage that pain. All this talk about finding time for me was ridiculous because I would get the break I needed without any outside help, if the baby was more comfortable and I didn't have to hold a screaming baby all day and night too! Babies who are in pain don't sleep very well, or at all--babies who get relief from medication and proper positioning will sleep and moms can get rest then too. That is the real colic solved!
Thank you again, Dr. Vartabedian, for dispelling the myth of colic once and for all and giving moms and babies the power to advocate for themselves!

Informative & PracticalReview Date: 2008-04-20
There is a lot here for parents of infants to take away. And as someone who is very interested in how the brain learns and develops, I was definitely not disappointed. The book is well researched and the science is explained in a way that is interesting and easy to understand. The organization of the book also makes it a quick reference for those that just want to know "what" to do (and not necessarily all of the "why"'s behind the activities). There are plenty of charts and tables that get right to point and offer quick reminders for parents. A very valuable resource all-around!
