I liked this book. The SuperBaby title is a little misleading - it's not about applying some formula to your baby to make them some kind of genius. This book has a lot of interesting research, and not as much practical how-to. For example, it gave a lot of interesting research about the toxins in disposable diapers and listed some options (clothing diapering, EC), but didn't go through step-by-step how to apply these approaches. This book can really be read straight through - the research is really interesting & it helps inform the parent on why they make their decisions. If you use Dr. Sears books, you'll really like this book. I especially liked the sections on food, reading, television, and sign language. I wasn't as impressed with the sections on communication and things she had to say about discipline, but that's ok. The author can be a little condescending at times and totally dismissive of other parenting styles.
