Title: Great idea, terrible execution
Product review: I thought this book sounded like a fun one, and I picked it up without reading too carefully. I figured it would be developmentally focussed and wouldn't contain too much opinion or misinformation on other matters.Boy, was I wrong.I almost didn't make it past the first chapter. As other reviewers have mentioned, the book contains serious misinformation about the care of uncircumcised boys -- retraction of the prepuce is painful, unncecessary, and can be dangerous.The opinion laden discussion of feeding and diapering (in a developmental book? Oh please!) was couched in "informational" terms, but was extremely biased in favour of disposable diapers and artificial baby milk.Having persevered, there is some interesting information here, but rather than pass this book along, I will be throwing it away.The misinformation far outweighs the good stuff -- all of which is available elsewhere.To pediatric writers: this concept is still wide open for development! Please?!?!
