I used this book a lot when my girls were little. I bought this book back in 1997. Now that I have a new baby I pulled it out of storage. This book is the best. I found myself using it for my 9 year old when she was running a fever. This book works for babies as well as older kids. This is a wonderful book for new parents and experienced parents.

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.

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.
