Title: I am having a ritual burning of this book today!
Product review: My son is 8 months old and I have hardly opened this book. When I do, I just get angry. The advice is condescending, and unreasonable - such as saying that playpens are bad, any sugar, salt or white flour is bad (ruling out crackers and cookies as first foods), etc. Like I have nothing else to do but give my child quality interactive time while the maid cleans, the cook prepares organic, tasteless, fat-free meals, and the butler and secretary do all the errands, phone calls and bills. We all live in the real world, and so do our kids. We should enjoy life (including food and Teletubbies) and enjoy our kids, and it will all work out. Most of the advice that isn't insulting or silly is just common sense, you don't need a book for it. Just burn it! (and "What to expect when Expecting", too). There is some useful medical / developmental information, but you can get that from other sources.
