My Review:
SuperBaby, might just replace Dr. Benjamin Spock’s
Baby and Childcare,
as the epitome of guidebooks for new parents.
SuperBaby is a comprehensive,
yet easy to read “handbook”, that I wish I had
had, when raising my children.
From Scheduling Styles, to Baby Smiles.
Organization to Food Preparation.
Websites and Toys for small girls and boys.
I may not agree, with every single piece of advise and information,
that Dr. Jenn offers… but overall – her gentle, but firm,
“down to earth guidance” in SuperBaby ,
can certainly give families a boost in
giving their child the best head start, during his/her first
three years.
This would be a wonderful addition to any home library.
