Summary: Baby Basics
Review: Dr. Baskerville's "Baby Basics" is a common sense approach to caring for babies and toddlers. She answers many questions new parents ask in a way that is easy to understand and to carry out. I am a labor/delivery nurse and am in a position of answering many of these same questions from new parents before I send them home with their babies. I am so happy to have a book like this to refer to and I happily recommend it to my patients. I am buying a copy for each of my own children to use as they become parents for the first time or even if they already have a child. There should be more manuals like this for parents. Thank you Dr. Baskerville.

Summary: Baby Basics, November 26, 2000
Review: I am a pediatrician and have been in general pediatric practice for over 25 years. In addition, I have four grown children. I highly recommend this book on general baby and child care and problem management. In my early learning years a book like this one would have been helpful to me both as a mother and as a pediatrician. This compact little book is power packed with informative and easily readable tips for any mother, from the least experienced new mother to the veteran mother of a large brood. There is always something new to learn, and each child brings new and unexpected challenges. Dr. Baskerville's observations, comments and suggestions come from her long experience in interacting with mothers and children of every sort. It is easy to find your way around this book in order to find the answer to a specific question. It is also a comfort to just read straight through it, or through a section of it, for general information. Issues from taking the baby's temperature to how to position the baby for sleeping to problems with discipline are addressed. She also directs the reader to appropriate sources for further help if this is necessary. In my opinion, this book, Baby Basics, should be a standard on every mother's nursery shelf. It is a ready reference of most of those little unexpected day to day problems, and it is a pleasure to read.
