5.0 out of 5 stars The handbook that did not come with your baby., May 6, 2000

This review is from: Baby and Child Medical Care (Paperback)

"Baby and Child Medical Care" is easily the handbook that didn't come with the birth of your child. Our first child was born in 1983, not long after this book was originally published as "The Parent's Guide to Baby & Child Medical Care". The book has paid for itself in spades throughout the ensuing years (and children). The format of "Baby & Child Medical Care" is the secret of it's value. It includes an easy to understand description of common infant and child medical issues along with a "how to" guide for treating them. Most importantly, information is provided as to when it is advisable to seek "professional" help. The "Guide . . ." has been invaluable in the raising and care of our children. It should be included with the release papers upon leaving the hospital at the birth of every child.
