In clear, sensible language, it tells you how to care for a newborn infant, how to guide your toddler or adolescent through the difficult stages and what to do about school problems. Virtually every aspect of the care of infants, children, and teenagers is covered, from sleep problems to discipline to sex and drugs - all the basic information that has made Dr. Spock’s Baby and Child Care the most authoritative and complete parenting guide ever written.

In this new edition, Drs. Spock and Rothenberg also address the special needs of today’s parents: there are sections on divorce, single-parent and “blended” families, and the changing roles of women and men at home and at work

Informative, easy to use, responding to the changes in our society, this newly revised and updated sixth edition of Dr. Spock’s Baby and Child Care makes a classic work more essential than ever.
