My last client's mother bought a copy of this book "The Happiest Baby on the Block", and at first I gagged, until I saw that she also bought "Bestfeeding," because, she said, "It had lots of good pictures." Chalk one up for grandma. Babe was sleeping, so me and my client perused the books. I was very curious about who the heck this Dr. Karp guy was, and I was pleasantly surprised that there's a new book out that actually says, don't give the baby anything artificial if you can help it. Great book from what I read of it. I'd plunk down the dough to buy it on eBay or half-price books (because I'm cheap :). I hope LLLI puts it in the catalog. It's more mainstream than Dr. Sears and not quite so pushy about attachment parenting. Very pro-breastfeeding and pro-mother/baby dyad. I think it will appeal to the majority of deer-in-the-headlights new parents. :)Kristine Owens CLD CD CAPPA Washington State Representative http://www.kristineowens.com > > Anyone read this book or know anything about him?
