Rating:  - I recommend to every new parent
I bought my copy of this book 11 years ago just after the birth of my first child. Two more children later and I still refer to it constantly. Every symptom and concern is covered and the guidelines are easy to follow. I constantly recommend the book to other new parents and give it as a gift often.
Rating: - A new parent must-have!
This is the greatest parenting book as it pertains to childhood illnesses. It goes into nearly every imaginable illness kids get, and gives the parent lists of symptoms to watch for, as well as instructions for each. It advises the parent as to which symptoms require a doctor's office visit, vs. symptoms which can be treated at home.
This, along with the book "Meditations For New Mothers," are my two favorite books to give at baby showers.
Rating: - For All New Moms
Our pediatrician told me to get this book shortly after my first child was born. I was a newby and everything was an emergency to me. This book makes an easy and ready reference to know what is an emergency, when to call the doctor, and when your child is just doing what is normal. I have three kids and still refer back to it as each child has been different.
This is a reference for everything from chicken pox and eczema to discipline strategies and how to deal with a picky eater. ... Read More
Rating: - The best of many children's health books I own
This book is an absolutely wonderful reference, and I recommend it for any home with children! It was given to me as a shower gift by a Nurse. The information is never overwhelming and is always helpful. It contains information on just about everything you can think of from physical illnessnes to sleep problems, nutrition, discipline and behavior, etc. When my child was having problems sleeping through the night, my pediatrician gave me a handout, and I noticed it was a xerox copy from this book!! ...

Rating: - Love This Book!
I am a mom of three and this is the shower gift I have used more than anything else. The corners are bent and the front cover is missing as I use this ALL of the time. There is practical information for everything from disapline to disease. I buy this book everytime I'm invited to a baby shower as I know it's a must for every new mom.
