Why read it?

1 author picked Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This classic is actually a very good guide to maintaining you sanity and for helping you through those first few month. My parents read this when they had me, and so did probably yours. Get one of the older editions though, none of this wishy-washy modern parenting for us. 

From Ohad's list on keeping your sanity as a parent.
