Review by Helen Magoulas for Baby Facts: The Truth about Your Child’s Health from Newborn through Preschool

As a pediatrician, I initially skimmed this book out of curiosity to see if there were any pediatric myths that I innocently believed. Wow, I’m glad I did! I was surprised at how many myths even I believed were true! Reading “BabyFacts” will make me a better pediatrician, mother, and overall “advice giver.” I am now recommending this book not only to my patients, but to my colleagues and friends with young children.

I bought this book to give to sister for her baby shower and ended up buying one for myself and everyone else I know who is having a baby!! The information in this book is invaluable and answers alot of questions that I wanted to ask my pediatrician but forgot/ felt foolish asking. I highly recommend buying this book for either yourself or anyone who has young children!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was refreshing to read such an educational, information-packed book that was written in a light-hearted and at times humorous tone. The “myth/fact” format also helped to make it an easy read. I was really surprised to learn how many myths I have fallen victim to. I would recommend this book to any parent or grandparent (my mom also read it and I find her quoting it to me at times)!

As a mother and grandmother, I totally endorse this book!! I wish that I’d had it when my children were small. Dr. Adesman addresses all the “old wives” tales and current trends in a smart, witty, crisp and humble fashion. (He even admits the myths that he and his pediatrician wife succumbed to while raising their 3 children.) He also points out when you should consult your doctor. My daughter-in-law loves this book as a mother of 2 pre-schoolers. Also, the cover is beautiful!! I will be giving this as a baby shower gift for years to come.

If you want main stream info- here it is. Why waste time and read the “fluff”? Be BETTER informed about the truth. Example: what is REALLY in the baby mattress? Antimony- where will my baby get high levels from?
Really, cover your baby mattresses with BabySafe covers. Better yet- buy an organic mattress. Don’t allow your child to wear/breathe flame retardant chemicals in fabrics. Learn the dangers of fluoride. Learn the dangers of high-frutose-corn syrup….the list is long…but keep an open mind and don’t always believe mainstream thinking- it is not necessarily the truth.
Any little bit you can do to keep harmful things away from your infant and child- will help in the long run. you don’t have to panic and think ALL has to be done… a little at a time. Most importantly- research things on your own and be informed.
Books I would say are MUST haves: Baby Matters (Palmer) and Child Health Guide (Randall Neustaedter). Great from early pregnancy on. Consider also subscribing to Mothering magazine and Kiwi- much better than Parenting and Parents.
