Great Resource Book & Fun to Read

I have loved this book and recommended it to quite a few people. It seems like so many questions a new mom has are answered in such a readable and informative way. Great resource book you'll go back to again and again. I highly recommend it to expecting parents and new parents. Dr. Joanne Baum Author of, Got the Baby Where's the Manual?!?

Came to buy our second copy - the first one wore out

Our original copy of Dr. Mom has split into two pieces. It has lost its cover and backing, and it is missing several pages. We have used this book like a bible for eight years raising our first three boys. We are having a new baby now, and we need a new copy. I seriously cannot think of any book that we have used and relied on so much. By the way, it blows all the others like it away.

Excellent Book!

I bought this book when I had my first child. It has provided me with alot of helpful information, especially at night or on the weekend when you're not sure whether or not to call the doctor. I have worn my original copy out and am about to buy a new one. Many thanks to Dr. Neifert!

It's a book every parent should have to turn to for answers.

I recieved this book when I had my first child and any time we have had a question or problem with health or accidents this is the first thing I turn to when in doubt. With the diffinitions of illnesses and disorders in the book you can go directly to the symptons and treatment and further prevention listed in the back of the book. It goes step by step with the new parent from the delivery of the baby, brest feeding and circucision with illustrations to name a few. The first months of a baby's life to starting them potty training and discipiline. Dosages of medication. Understanding there behaviors.These are only a very small portion of the content in this book. We have owned a copy for eight years that is worn out literally. We are now ordering a copy for a family member and a new copy for ourselves.The only regret is that we have not located a hard cover version of this book.

Great book for ALL mothers!

I have had this book for ALL three of my children (ages 14, 10 & 4) and I still use it. The book is a great resource of information for any mother that needs immediate answers for a child who is sick. Dr. Mom is wonderful at explaining caring for children from A to Z, especially illnesses. I would recommend this book to ANY mother as a worthwhile investment for a peace of mind.
