Eat, Sleep, Poop: A Complete Common Sense Guide To Your Baby's First Year--from A Pediatrician/Dad (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Recommended to me by a friend, I am glad that I read this book. A great primer on childcare in the first year, addressing usual concerns and questions raised by new parents, advice on what to do based on different scenarios, etc. This book comes with more detail and a more engaging writing style with personal anecdotes from the author as both a father and a pediatrician that definitely beats anything I've read in the "What To Expect..." books. The author is simultaneously real, practical, and balanced in his advice. One of my friends who just gave birth to her second child recommended this book to me. Scott W. Cohen is both a father and a pediatrician, so he offers practical advice from a parenting and medical point of view. His chapters are extremely concise and to the point. He doesn't drag out any topic, and you're left with a good general idea of what to expect. I absolutely absorbed almost everything he mentions in his text. I could tell I learned quite a bit simply from my interview with a pediatrician... I was able to match his conversation like an expert. Scott also dispelled any fears I had about vaccines. I live in Los Angeles, the anti-vaccine capital of the world. It's become a trend among citizens and friends in this city to jump on the fear monger bandwagon when it comes to vaccinating your kids. Dr. Scott W. Cohen not only put me at peace, but returned me to my senses. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is about to become a first-time parent!
