Publisher Description
Raising a baby is joyful, amazing . . . and ridiculously difficult. But with some insight into what's actually going on inside your little one's head, your job as a parent can become a little bit easier—and a lot more fun.
In Think Like a Baby, coauthors Amber and Andy Ankowski—The Doctor and the Dad—show parents how to re-create classic child development experiments using common household items. These simple step-by-step experiments apply from the third trimester through age seven and beyond and help parents understand their children's physical, cognitive, language, and social development. Amazed parents won't just read about how their kids are behaving, changing, and thinking at various stages, they'll actually see it for themselves while interacting and having fun with them at the same time. Each experiment is followed by a discussion of its practical implications for parents, such as why to always bring more than one toy to a restaurant, which baby gadgets to buy (and which ones to avoid), how to get kids to be perfectly happy eating just half of their dessert, and much more.

So good.
This is such a great book. Useful parenting information, but written in a non-condescending, funny way that doesn't make you feel like you're a total failure for not already knowing/following it. But really just an interesting, light read about the subject we parents enjoy most: our babies. I really wish It had been written when my baby was tiny, but even though she's already a big toddler the baby section was worth reading for the tips at the end of each experiment. Totally worth reading!
