Down to earth - a new parent's best friend

I purchased the book when I was pregnant with my son in England. I was very grateful for Jolly's no-nonsense approach to child rearing. For example, Jolly explains in this book that babies don't really need to be burped. Apparently, this is a Western society invention. Few cultures outside of Western society rub or tap their babies after they take their bottles since gas comes up naturally without the need to pound on their backs. Jolly also advises that if your baby will take a bottle cold, straight from the refrigerator, then it's ok-- there is no scientific reason for it to be warmed. This saved me hours of sleep since my son was happy to have a cold bottle. Another pearl of wisdom was his advice to bring the baby in bed with you if you need to get some sleep. My son breast fed in our bed as I fell back to sleep. Our son is a healthy adult, soon to be a police officer. He seems to have survived just fine thanks to this book. Jolly gives sound advice that makes parenting during that first year a heck of a lot easier. I worshiped the man for letting parents off the hook...
