    <body><![CDATA[This book is great from the practical standpoint of figuring out how and when to take your baby's temperature or what the signs of an ear infection are, but don't get me started on parenting advice given by pedeatricians and based on their own personal experiences.

    <body><![CDATA[Fact: babies are not supposed to be convenient.  Caring for them is difficult, and it's going to cramp your style.  Dr Sears advocates attachment parenting (AP), which basically means being responsive to the baby's needs.  He also calls it &quot;high touch parenting.&quot;  It's too bad that some pe...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54374857">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book just isn't for me.  I've only read a few chapters.  I guess I should have done a little more research before spending 20-some dollars on it.  The doctors promote &quot;attachment parenting&quot; and for those interested in this particular style it seems like it would be a good resource.
