Description About the Authors
 

Synopsis

Over a million and a half families already use this book to help keep their children healthy. Updated to the seventh edition in December 2005 with the most recent research and recommendations, this award winning guide discusses common medical problems, as well as emotional issues such as new siblings and school challenges. The book provides forms for medical, growth, and immunization records. And unlike other children's health books, this comprehensive guide is useful from birth through a child's adolescence. Taking Care of Your Child is easy to use, even in a crisis. Simply look up a symptom, and you find a complete explanation of probable causes, how serious they are, and how you might quickly relieve your child's problem at home. Easy-to-follow decision charts show parents exactly when to take a child to see a doctor. This book covers more than 100 common complaints-injuries and allergies, childhood diseases-with especially clear advice on handling emergencies.

Very Informative April 27, 2007
Reviewer: Pat Frazier "Pat" from Georgia, USA  
Very informative read. Lots of nice details even though I didn't understand some of the more technical discussions. I would reccomend it though as a good reference book to have on your shelf.

Pregnancy and Child Medical Care Book January 16, 2007
Reviewer: S. Halvorson from Iowa  
I got this from my sister a long time ago and I have been giving this
book out for years to new mothers! It is one of the best "simple",
straight-forward book I have seen. It tells of the warning signs, home
remedies, and when to take the child or yourself to the doctor. It is a
good reference book, something easy when young parents need that the
most.

Fantastic Book December 7, 2006
Reviewer: Dutch Mom  
I have a two year old son and have turned to this book for almost all of his health issues. I find it invaluable!

The book is laid out in an easy to use format and has very helpful diagrams that indicate when it's appropriate to go to the emergency room, make a doctor's appointment, or use home care, etc. The homecare instructions are fairly comprehensive compared to what I've found during internet searches for the same ailments.

I like this book so much I've since bought five or six as baby shower gifts. Highly recommended!

Best First Aid Book December 7, 2006
Reviewer: Lindy Lou "Grandma Now" from Austin, TX  
I purchased this for my son to use with his new baby. I had one of the first editions of this book. It helped me through those late night decisions whether to call the Dr. or use the home remedy. I felt relived many times to know that that my child wasn't going to die from the red rash on his skin! I recommend this book to every new parent.
