Dr Spock's Baby & Childcare 9th Edition (Paperback)

The most trusted childcare book for generations, this newly updated edition is still the most comprehensive, authoritative, and reassuring go-to reference for parents of children from birth through adolescence.
For sixty-five years, parents have relied on the expert advice of renowned pediatrician Dr. Benjamin Spock. But while children never change, issues and concerns do. While still providing reassuring advice on age-old topics such as caring for a new baby, as well as accidents, illness, and injuries, this revised edition also covers:
Cutting-edge medical opinion on immunizations
Obesity and nutrition
Cultural diversity, and non-traditional family structures
Children's learning and brain development
The newest thinking on children with special needs
Environmental health
Increasingly common disorders such as ADHD, depression, and autism--including medications and behavioral interventions
Children and the media, including electronic games
Coping with family stress
And much, much more
With an updated glossary of common medications, and a resource guide that compiles the most reliable online resources, this invaluable guide is still the next best thing to Dr. Spock's #1 rule of parenting: "Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do."
