I read this book when my daughter was about 4 months old and it wasn't very helpful. It boasts helping you make parenting decisions by looking at reputable studies, but honestly for most topics the conclusion was "There is data to show that it's *slightly* better to do ______, but not enough that you can't do ______ instead if that's what is best for your family." Also it took about 2/3 through the book to get past decisions I've already made as a parent up through 4 months, so most of the content is about newborns.
I think the best audience for this book would be first time moms BEFORE they have their baby. It gives you some topics to think about so you are ready for some parenting decisions down the line. The book doesn't help with a lot of research or in depth information on any of these decisions, so you would still need to look into other sources. But I guess at least you would be aware of what decisions would be coming your way and when.
