    ABOUT THE AUTHOR

    Mayo Clinic took root in farm fields near Rochester, Minn., in the late 1800s. It grew from the medical practice of a country doctor, William Worrall Mayo, and the partnership of his two sons, William J. and Charles H. Mayo – affectionately known as Dr. Will and Dr. Charlie.

    The brothers' innovative ideas and tireless work in learning and creating new surgical techniques attracted international attention. Physicians from around the world came to watch the Mayo brothers perform surgery.

    The Mayo brothers invited other doctors to join them, forming teams of medical experts. Today, Mayo Clinic – one of the world’s oldest and largest multispecialty group practices – comprises more than 45,000 physicians, scientists, nurses and other staff at its three locations in Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., and Scottsdale, Ariz., and its regional community-based health care practices.

    This is a thorough, nicely-laid-out book that covers all kinds of different aspects of parenting an infant. It's positive about breastfeeding and cloth diapering--I'm amazed at how long it's taken baby book writers to figure out that most cloth diapers use snaps or Velcro fasteners, not pins, and have since the mid-1990's!--and it covers everything from airplane travel to adoption to multiple birth to caring for physical and mental disabilities, as well as normal developmental and medical issues and family relationships. It's really very thorough.

    I am overjoyed that it talks about the feelings mothers have about enjoying the intellectual stimulation, adult interaction, and earning ability that comes with a career--something other books (*cough* Sears *cough*) don't even MENTION. So I don't have to beat myself up for liking my job. Oddly, though, I would have appreciated it if it had been a little more positive about the staying-at-home choice. This book talks about how if...
