Over a million families already use Taking Care of Your Child to help keep their children healthy. This award-winning book gives parents clear, practical advice on feeding, medicines, doctor visits, discipline, and all the other aspects of raising a healthy child. Based on many years' experience, the authors discuss new siblings, school, and other challenges. They even provide forms for medical, growth, and immunization records. And unlike other children's health books, this comprehensive guide stays useful from the mother's pregnancy through the child's adolescence. Taking Care of Your Child is easy to use, even in a crisis. Simply look up a symptom, and you find a complete explanation of probable causes, how serious they are, and how you might quickly relieve your child's problem at home. Easy-to-follow decision charts (see example at left) show you exactly when to see a doctor. This book covers more than 100 common complaints—injuries and allergies, childhood diseases, and everyday worries—with especially clear advice on handling emergencies. Taking Care of Your Child is the health guide that every parent should have.
