Summary: This book should be part of your collection.
Comment: This book covers everything I could think of and more. It's nearly 3 inches thick with newsprint pages and packed with information on "health", not "parenting". My disclaimer is that my little one is not yet here so I haven't actually had to put the information to the accuracy test. Is organized in such a way that you can "take it in" in chunks as your child develops.

Summary: wonderful resource
Comment: My Pediatrician recommended this book to me, so that I wouldn't have to wait to call the office to know what to do. It's what they use to help parents know what to do about almost everything. From ear infections to picky eaters- it has what you can do at home, what to look for to call the office right away, and what to look for to call in 24 hours. I have found it very useful to decide if I need to take the kids to the office, or if I can just help them at home and avoid a trip to the doctors. It also gives you several different approaches to behavior delemas, that I really appreciated. Then I could create one that works for my child. I highly recommend it.

Summary: This book will help put your mind at ease when your child is sick or hurt
Comment: I've used both the first and second editions of this book for the past 7 years since my first child was born. The format makes it easy to find the information you're looking for quickly (a plus when your child wakes up sick in the middle of the night or on the weekend when the doctor's office is closed). For example - my child has a fever, what should I do? When should I call the doctor? When should you take your child into the office? Using the decision tree at the end of each subject section - I almost never need to call the doctor with what would turn out to be a routine question and avoid unnecessary visits to the pediatrician's office. In fact, at my daughter's last check up, the nurse commented they never see us! It's not that my kids get sick any less than other kids, it's just this book enables you to handle the routine health issues of childhood more effectively. And if heaven forbid we ever have an emergency, a section of the book is dedicated to that subject too. The child raising advice I use less often. But for health care, I recommend it for every new mom.

Summary: Best reference book for all ages of children
Comment: I am a telephone triage nurse and this is one of the reference books that we use. All of our copies are beat to death because of how much we use them, it is a favorite of all the nurses. There is a wealth of reliable information in this book! Everything is layed out clearly with an easy to use index. I am buying one to keep at home for reference for my kids and giving them out as gifts at baby showers. This is one book that is a must for parents. I am convinced that using it will keep a lot of parents out of the ER and doctor's offices for things that can be mananged at home.

Summary: Your Child's Health
Comment: I looked through the book and some items were read. Very informative. This was a book that I would have liked to have when I had my child several years ago. I had purchased this book for my daughter in law to have for her child. She also looked through the book and said WOW! This is good. Yes, I would recommend this book to any new mother.
