What a great gift book! For new parents and those that already have children. I am a business owner & each time one of my clients is going to have a baby I give them this book. I know they'll need it and it's filled with important information (not typical baby book stuff). Everyone I've given it to has said how much they love it and what a great idea it is. I highly recommend it - You can't go wrong.

4.0 out of 5 stars The only way to keep up with details..., August 28, 2000

This review is from: Your Child's Medical Journal: Keeping Track of Your Child's Personal Health History from Conception Through Adulthood (Paperback)

I received this book as a gift and I LOVE IT. Being a new mom this book has given me an understanding of what to expect at each doctors appt. It has also helped me with tracking any medication that my little guy has used. I find it hard to remember names of all the drugs out there, and then trying to remebered if they worked? This book has help me track that kind of information, plus all the other details I learn at each doctors visit. The one addition I have made to this book is I have added tabs to each section. When I am in the doctors office I like to flip to diffrent sections of the book while talking with the nurse or doctor. I can get the answers faster in my book that the nurse or doctor cana by flipping through thier files and charts. I now give this book to anyone having a baby, it is the most valued gift we have rec'd... and it is for life. Thanks for a great book.
