Department of Pediatrics, University of Hawaii John A. Burns School of Medicine, Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children, Honolulu, Hawaii Parenting books offer a variety of information and advice for parents on subjects they frequently encounter; however, the recommendations of books are dependent on the author and different books offer conflicting advice on the same subjects. In addition, some of the information presented is not concordant with current American Academy of Pediatrics policy statements and recent medical literature. It is important for pediatricians to be aware of the information parents are obtaining from different sources so that they can address areas where erroneous advice is potentially being given. Pediatricians will then be able to discuss discrepancies with parents and give them recommendations based on current research and recommendations.
