I bought this book a year ago in preparation for the adoption of our daughter from China. This is the absolute worst baby book I have ever seen. At least 1/2 of it focuses on breast feeding and makes you feel like an absolute criminal if you don't breast feed. I am surprised the authors aren't advocating a constitutional amendment requiring all mothers to breast feed! Complete waste of money. No practical advice in this book at all. I highly recommend Dr. Spock's book or Baby 411 instead!!!
