Dr Benjamim Spock is a household name in many countries. He’s the author of the most influential parenting book ever written, The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care, first published in 1946.
‘Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.’ – Dr Spock
Dr Spock died in 1998, aged 95, but his book continues to be updated and published by the paediatricians who most recently co-wrote the book with him, including Dr. Robert Needlman.
Now in its ninth edition, Baby and Child Care is the only parenting information resource to have enjoyed such extensive consumer feedback and research-driven editing.
Dr Spock’s Baby and Child Care is published by Simon & Schuster, and is available at Dymocks Online.
Dr Spock and the Raising Children Network
Dr Spock’s widow and valued collaborator, Mary Morgan, was instrumental in providing much of his material for the Raising Children Network to edit for an Australian audience.
