Babysense

Praise for the Fi"I am a family practitioner who has used yourbook both as a resource for my own two childrenand in my patient-education library. I would liketo express my appreciation and gratitude foryour effort in putting together a book which Ihave found to be the most comprehensive andpractical of its type." --Kathleen McAuliffe, M.D., Portland, OR"Babysense has been a baby bible for us.'"--Gail and Mike Hill, Calgary, Alberta, Canada"It has been below zero for the last three days,and I have not set foot outside of this house.~.. We have no bread, milk, or butter. I can't getto the store because it is too cold to take the babyout, and I can't get a sitter to come here. As youcan imagine, I am feeling housebound and frus-trated. I opened Babysense and by chance read"Getting Control of Your Time and Your Life" and "The Transition into Motherhood." I laughed and cried. I identified with every woman's com- ments. I feel sane again~ I have regained my sense of humor and perspective. In reading Baby- sense, I no longer feel isolated and alone. In fact, I feel very much as if someone has put her arms around me and given me a great big, warm, sup- portive hug. Thank you!" --Mary Summerbell, Janesville, WI"I am an obstetrical nurse with a ten-month-oldof my own. Babysense is one of the best child-care, family-care books I've read. It's a realsource of comfort to me personally. I've begunrecommending it to postpartum ladies because itis so full of warmth and good ideas." --Susan Mitchell, Asheville, NC"I have indeedand supportivemother, with tlcthis grandmothadvice, insteadyou don't follo'"A move acrepulled my supNo family, no tits many conUsystem.
