Summary: Attachment Parenting is the ONLY way to parent.
Comment: I can't say enough about this book, and ANY book written by Dr. Sears. The Attachment Parenting philosophy should be the ONLY one ever practiced by any parent - loving, nurturing, natural. No abuse or neglect (CIO), encouragement in bed sharing and baby wearing, there's simply no better way to show a baby they are loved and secure. I recommend this book as well as any by Dr. Sears. I have raised four children using these principals, and they are all wonderful little people who will grow up to love their babies in the same manner. Awesome.

Summary: Good Read
Comment: Only half way through this book and loving it! The title is right in the sense that this is a "commonsense guide" but it is great to have some kind of affirmation that what you are doing is the right thing, especialy being a 1st time parent. I especially appreciate the authors' acknowledgment that all of their ideas will not work for everyone or that not everyone will need to use all of their ideas. A.P. is a very natural, intuitive way of parenting and this book is very helpful in helping you realize these intuitions and to go with them. I personally have a hard time going with my gut instincts - I tend to doubt myself and usually listen to an outside opinion - but this book has made me a little more aware of my instincts, or more the fact that my feelings ARE insticnts, and that makes it quite a bit easier to recognize them and to listen to myself. This is especially important in the area of child rearing because no one at all knows my child or what is best for them better than I do. It's a definite confidence booster! Would recommend to everyone!

Summary: A new mother's review
Comment: As a first-time mother, I wanted to do everything in my power to ensure that my (now almost 7-month old) son felt loved, safe and secure. We still co-sleep, I breastfeed on demand, and, at the urging of Dr. Sears and Martha Sears, I initially wore him in a sling as much as possible, which was basically all day. I don't think Dr. Sears realizes how thinly some eager new moms are willing to spread themselves in order to "do what is best for the baby". After about a month of this, I was ready to pass out. I would strongly urge mothers to first evaluate their circumstances, and decide what their personal limit is, because the more you wear the baby, the more abnormal it becomes for him to lie in the bassinet, the bouncy seat, or anywhere else. Babies are smart, and the more you wear them, the more they resist being put down. For me, it had gotten to the point that I couldn't even shower, because they baby would cry the minute I put him down. My husband works long and variable hours, and we have no family in town, so I had no relief. Very gradually, I began putting him down little by little, and eventually he started to enjoy playing independently in his bouncer, and now in his Baby Einstein activity center. Please, don't make my mistake. Wear your baby in moderation. If you don't, you will exhaust yourself, your marriage will suffer, and the baby will be very anxious unless he is held.

Summary: A must for your baby library
Comment: The Dr. Sears books have been a staple for parents for years.
I am a new mom and must admit that these books have actually comforted me with such great and basic advice.
