Dr. Brazelton tells you. Really.
the genius of this book is that he categorizes
the active baby
the average baby
the quiet baby
He Knows! Depending on your baby's temperament, they are Very Different Experiences during that very first year...
i read this when i was very first pregnant and it ushered me into a sense of what it would really be like to be responsible for a baby, and not just babySITTING!
then i read the chapter on each month as my daughter grew...
i'm sure i appreciated the wonder of what was unfolding before my eyes every day more than i might have if i'd gotten lost in the neverending feeding, changing diapers chore part over and over again...
it was a Great Gift - and boon to my own confidence as a new mom - that year.
also, somehow between the lines, Dr. Brazelton gets the message across that You Can't Do It Wrong... you are that baby's mother and so by definition, you're doing it right...
there's a new pediatrician who has a book about how to get an infant to stop crying - something like the Happiest Baby on The Block...
that - and this book - are my two favorite essentials.

Full of outdated advice such as putting baby to sleep on his stomach, scheduling feedings and leaving a newborn to "cry it out." Also focuses on the worst experiences of new mothers. It's important for struggling new mothers to know that they are not alone in their doubts, fears and resentments, but I found it very disheartening to read about these mothers (and fathers) who fantasize about escaping the demands of motherhood by "accidentally" dropping or drowning the baby and who resent, dislike and ignore (that is, neglect) their newborns. I recommend either The Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby from Birth to Age Two / by William and Martha Sears or Caring for Your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5 / by American Academy Of Pediatrics instead.

My children are 9 & 6 now. I was extremely grateful to have this book when my very first was born. I had very little experience with children beyond teenage babysitting and a degree in psychology (not as useful as one might think, though it sounds impressive.) It was great to know just how extreme the differences can be between perfectly normal babies.

Although the descriptions of different babies' development & temperment were somewhat interesting, this book is completely out-of-date. The photos and some of the advice was so old-fashioned (i.e. letting babies sleep on their stomachs, feeding healthy babies "sugar water" to delay feedings) that it was distracting. This book needs a major overhaul to make it worth the $17 pricetag. I returned it.

I bought this book years ago when my children were born. Five children and twenty five years later, it is my favorite baby gift especially for a very first time mother.
The book describes three different infants and their temperments so clearly that no matter what kind of a baby you have, you will find your child somewhere in the book. For a very first time mother, when variations of childrens sleeping, eating, and temperments are so different, it is reassuring to know that the one in your crib is as healthy and normal as the rest.
