Kinda the same reason people use Yahoo Answers. It help get a general consensus of opionion. Just because people buy the book doesn't mean they are going to follow it. I did, and use it as a guidance....what to expect, ideas, what is normal...things like that. Doesn't mean you have to do what the book says or that the book is right, it is just like asking another person's opinion.

I buy these books because I want ideas to give them every opportunity in the world and do thing the best I can.
. I.E: games to play to help stimulate their minds. What are their nutrtional needs? Calories, fat, carbs, vitamins, etc.
One thing that is constantly debated is what is best for a child a working mom or stay at home mom. I've seen studies that say back and forth.

I tell people that I like parenting books, not to "learn how to be a parent" but to learn what to expect from parenthood. Example: I wouldn't know how much to feed my baby, when, and what to feed him when he started solids at 4 months. Little tips and facts are important, because some of us don't know any mothers to ask about this stuff.

Is that an oxymoron or what. Britney Spears' mom writing a e book on parenting. that's going to be a handbook on a thank you to not discern. somewhat of indefinite launch, the finished concept might desire to be scrapped.

I think it helps with ideas, and information, you can get recall info, tips on doing things that save time and money, website, trips, the same reason you read a diet magazine, or fashion or cookbook

All of the above and +. Babies are not born with instructions booklets so you learn from ALL different sources. At least an intelligent individual will do this.

I would like to find one that would quote appropriate resources and laws pertaining to the area that I live in. Something specific to my country, province, city etc, quoting the various levels of governmental policies and laws, including city bylaws, if applicable. Quote websites that are relevant to me and to where I live. Where can I find various products in MY area.

I wanted advice for something that my son was doing or going thru. I also looked to see what mile stones should be reached at what age like sitting up, crawling, and so forth.
