About this listen
Apply the best science to all your parenting decisions with this essential A-Z guide for your biggest questions and concerns from the New York Times best-selling coauthor of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline.
Every baby- and toddler-care decision sends parents scrambling to do the right thing and often down into the rabbit hole of conflicting advice. Dr. Tina Payne Bryson has sifted through the reliable research (including about all those old wives' tales) and will help you make a manageable molehill out of the mountain of information and answer more than 60 common concerns and dilemmas, including:
- Breast or bottle? Or breast and bottle? Will that cause nipple confusion?
- What's the latest recommendation for introducing solids in light of potential allergies?
- Should I sign us up for music and early-language classes?
- What’s the evidence for and against circumcision?
- When is the right time to wean my baby off her pacifier?
- How do I get this child to sleep through the night?
Dr. Bryson boils things down with authority, demystifying the issues in three distinct sections: an objective summary of the schools of thought on the topic, including commonly held pros and cons; a clear and concise primer on "What the Science Says"; and a bottom-line conclusion. When the science doesn't point clearly in one direction, she guides you to assess and apply the information in a way that's consistent with your family's principles and meets your child's unique needs.
Full of warmth, expert wisdom, and blessedly bite-sized explanations, The Bottom Line for Baby will help you prioritize what you really need to know and do during the first year of precious life.

Story
When facing contentious issues such as screen time, food choices, and bedtime, children often act out or shut down, responding with reactivity instead of receptivity. This is what New York Times best-selling authors Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson call a No Brain response. But our kids can be taught to approach life with openness and curiosity. When kids work from a Yes Brain, they’re more willing to take chances and explore. They’re more curious and imaginative. They’re better at relationships and handling adversity.

Great Resource
So far the best baby book I’ve read. It’s concise, straight to the point, and the varying perspectives and scientific bottom line makes you feel confident in the often judgemental realm of child rearing.
