Dr. Spock

Good ol' Dr. Benjamin Spock (1903-1998) has been trusted for decades. Even after his death, DrSpock.com is run by a panel of experts and remains a valuable resource. This is always my first stop for quick, solid, up-to-date, non-alarmist advice. Between the vast archive of articles and message boards, there's nothing your kids can dish out that Spock can't take.
