This tome weighs in at 3.5 lbs and 928 pages to cover the basics of a child's life from birth to age 5. And the American Academy of Pediatrics, who authored (ie: sponsored) this book do not suggest this is anything other than a basic guideline of the standards at each period of growth. They do cover topics such as social and emotional growth as well as the physical and cognitive growth. These additional aspects are important as the infant grows from birth to toddler and on to a preschooler and beyond.
Additional pages are dedicated to childhood illnesses, injuries, vaccines, birth disorders, and problems such as potty training, sleep problems, and so on.
A good all purpose resource for the first five years.
