This book is not meant for those who are interested in the field for general curiosity, or for understanding the science. This is a practical book by a medical doctor that gives a lot of practical information that supposes to help. Some of the claims in the book - I found to be controvercial in recent science, but all in all, it is still very useful for accompanying parents.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good, basic childcare book
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2020

I'm in my 70's. When I had my first baby in 1972, Dr. Spock was who I turned to. He wasn't everyone's "cup of tea", but I thought he had very helpful, down-to-earth information for a young mother who hadn't been around babies that much. I bought this 10th edition because I'm going to be taking care of our newest grandchild, and I wanted to refresh my memory about basic childcare. (It's amazing how much you can forget!) Dr. Spock is gone now, but the man who wrote this updated version seems to have a lot of the same opinions as Dr. Spock did.

39 years ago the original was an invaluable tool for me as a new mother. This copy is for my daughter who has not had her baby yet but she thinks it will be very helpful. I am convinced that it will be a lot more helpful than she realizes once the baby is born.

I raised my 3 kids with the help of this book! If they were doing something “different” or looked “different”....off to Dr Spock I went....My kids are 34, 30 and 29 and are all healthy and happy thanks in part to this book! My oldest is now expecting TWINS and this is the first gift I’ve purchased for her and the new arrivals. Let’s hope she goes here first before asking “Dr. Google” what’s up!

I used to go by Dr. Spock's advice. It was like the bible to me, easy to read and understand. It was so comforting and explained everything perfectly. I was a newcomer to this country and had no mother to guide me. Now, I give this book to my daughter-in-law who is expecting. I think she will enjoy the comforting advice of Dr. Spock.

5.0 out of 5 stars Une référence pédiatrique et personnelle : “Dr. Spock’s Baby and Child Care, 10e édition”
Reviewed in France on February 2, 2024

En tant que médecin pédiatre et parent, je trouve la 10e édition de “Dr. Spock’s Baby and Child Care” absolument essentielle. Cet ouvrage réussit à intégrer les avancées récentes de la pédiatrie avec les principes fondamentaux du Dr. Spock, offrant un guide à la fois riche et accessible. Je l’utilise quotidiennement dans ma pratique pour conseiller les parents, ainsi qu’à la maison pour le soin de mes propres enfants. La façon dont il traite des sujets variés, de la nutrition à la psychologie du développement, en passant par les défis contemporains de la parentalité, en fait un outil précieux et pratique. C’est un livre que je recommande chaleureusement à tous les parents et professionnels de la santé infantile pour son approche bienveillante et éclairée de l’éducation et du soin des enfants.

Tendría suerte terminar este libro sin que se disuelva en las manos. Las páginas son tan finas que se puede leer las palabras de la próxima página. De lo más baja calidad que hay. No vale la mitad del precio. Lo doy 2 estrellas en vez de una porque creo que el contenido sí está bien. Es solo la construcción del libro que es el problema.
