Apply the best science to all your parenting decisions with this
essential A-Z guide for your biggest questions and concerns from the
New York Times bestselling co-author of The Whole-Brain Child and
N*o-Drama Discipline*****
Every baby- and toddler-care decision sends parents scrambling to do the
right thing, and often down into the rabbit hole of conflicting advice.
Dr. Tina Payne Bryson has sifted through the reliable research
(including about all those old wives' tales) and will help you make a
manageable molehill out of the mountain of information and answer more
than sixty common concerns and dilemmas, including
- Breast or bottle? Or breast and bottle? Will that cause nipple
confusion?
- What's the latest recommendation for introducing solids in light of
potential allergies?
- Should I sign us up for music and early-language classes?
- What's the evidence for and against circumcision?
- When is the right time to wean my baby off her pacifier?
- How do I get this child to sleep through the night?!
Dr. Bryson boils things down with authority, demystifying the issues in
three distinct sections: an objective summary of the schools of thought
on the topic, including commonly held pros and cons; a clear and concise
primer on "What the Science Says"; and a Bottom Line conclusion. When
the science doesn't point clearly in one direction, she guides you to
assess and apply the information in a way that's consistent with your
family's principles and meets your child's unique needs. Full of warmth,
expert wisdom, and blessedly bite-sized explanations, The Bottom Line
for Baby will help you prioritize what you really need to know and do
during the first year of precious life.
