Customer Reviews

Good reference book

When my first child was born almost a year and a half ago, I purchased a few books about baby health and development. My wife and I referred to this book several times to look up symptoms (or what we thought were symptoms). It is clearly written and easy to understand. It definitely helped to ease some of our worries.

Extremely helpful

This is a great book. Our pediatrician recommended this to us and I'm glad he did. We are new parents and it has great ideas and parenting tips for new babies as well as information on health questions for children of any age. I'm sure we will continue to use it for many years to come.

Good for childcare reference

This book is beautifully designed, with gorgeous pictures and attractive layouts. It is a very good "reference" book for general child healthcare topics as well as a pretty neat diagnosis section that I think all new moms can appreciate. (Sometimes we need to know a quick answer - ie. rash = ?). The book is written from a pretty clinical perpective, however, so if your looking for any reflection that goes along with these topics, this book is not the book for you.
