<b> <b>The essential handbook to more than sixty common childcare questions--what the science does and doesn't say and how to apply that knowledge to make the best decisions for your unique family--by the </b> <b> <i>New York Times</i> </b> <b> bestselling co-author of </b> <b> <i>The Whole-Brain Child</i> </b> <b> and </b> <b> <i>No-Drama Discipline</i> </b> </b> Should I augment breastfeeding with a bottle, or will that cause nipple confusion? What's the latest research on exposing my baby to potential allergens? And what's up with co-sleeping?! Every baby and toddler care decision sends parents scrambling to gather the best possible information, while also listening to their own instincts about their child's unique needs. In <i>The Bottom Line for Baby</i>, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Tina Payne Bryson, PhD, tackles more than sixty common new parent concerns and offers the clear, science-based, and accessible information they seek. From pacifier use and weaning, to sleep scheduling, circumcision, vaccinations and more, she demystifies the issues in three distinct sections: an objective summary of the schools of thought on the topic (including commonly held pros and cons); a concise primer on "What the Science Says," with recommendations for further reading for those interested; and a Bottom Line conclusion. When the science doesn't point us clearly in one direction, Dr. Bryson guides us to assess and apply the information in a way that's consistent with our family's principles. Full of warmth, wit, and expert wisdom, <i>The Bottom Line for Baby </i>will help parents prioritize what they really need to know and do during the first year of precious life.
