What To Expect The Toddler Years

List Price: $16.95
Lowest Price: $6.50

Product Description:

They guided you through pregnancy, they guided you through baby's first year, and now they'll guide you through the toddler years. In a direct continuation of What to Expect When You're Expecting (over 9.6 million copies in print) and What to Expect the First Year (over 5.6 million copies in print), America's bestselling pregnancy and childcare authors turn their uniquely comprehensive, lively, and reassuring coverage to years two and three.

Organized month by month for the second year (months 12-24) and quarterly through the third year (months 24-36), What to Expect the Toddler Years covers each growth and development phase parents are likely to encounter-when they're likely to encounter it. Hundreds of questions and answers treat everything from eating and sleeping problems to day care, tantrums, bottle mouth, shyness, self-esteem, and more. An entire third section of the book is devoted to toilet training, safety, and health, and a fourth covers special concerns-the exceptional child, siblings, and balancing work and parenting.

Remarkably thorough, caring and intelligent, What to Expect the Toddler Years is as valuable for the seasoned parent as it is for the new parent. 2.4 million copies in print.

Incredibly outdated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.

Very good reference book
Just like it's predecessors, this is a very good reference book. I like the beginning of each age group, when they state what your child should be doing. It helped me keep track of where my son was developmentally. Other than that, don't bother reading it from cover to cover, since kids do things so differently. Just use the index to look up issues as they occur.

OUTDATED!!
This book is like 15 years out of date!!!! Maybe it's "buyer beware" - but I mad the assumption that this book is just as updated as "What to Expect When You Are Expectating" - and that is NOT the case!@

Love It/ Recommend it
Full of useful information about baby month by month layout, also information about and for Mom and Dad, I refer to this book on a weekly if not daily basis for information from poop color to medication doses, behavior etc. IT has everything. Everyone should have this book.
