As a Pediatrician, years of experience helped me to determine what would go into this book. It consists of information I found myself repeating to every mother during office visits in the first three years of the child's life. Women who have already raised their children say the same thing after reading it: "I wish I'd had this when I was raising my children". The favorite sections seem to be Sleep-How To Get It, Toilet Training or Learning Control and Avoiding Eating Problems. Explaining the little details was appreciated. It was time-consuming but it was new for everyone. "The Devil is in the details."
