Babies famously don't come with manuals. "The Baby Book" is as close to one as I've ever seen; if you have a baby care question the chances are very good it's going to be covered here. I was even able to self-diagnose my breastfeeding problem with Josie all those years ago using this book (her head and body weren't lined up--her head was turned to the side--we needed to be "belly to belly"). Even those who don't accept some, many or all attachment parenting principles will find a great deal of practical information here.
