Format:Paperback
I recommend this book to all new parents. It is a real comfort when your baby is ill and you are not sure what to do.

It has easy to follow flowcharts to self-diagnose and makes recommendations on whether to seek medical advice and how quickly you should act. More detailed information on common illnesses is available at the back of the book with may pictures including types of rashes which I have referred to on many an occasion.

Very good buy! 20 Nov 2009
By Deb W
Format:Paperback
This is a really good book to keep in and refer to. Easy to use flow charts when your child is ill, with solutions. There's an info section on all sorts of diseases and disorders. It is really useful to see pictures of rashes rather than just an explanation of what rashes should look like. I would recommend this book to any parent - I reckon it will be very well used by myself over the coming years!

Format:Paperback
I found this book very helpful when my children were babies and toddlers as a starting point when they seemed under the weather or when symptoms would appear that I might be concerned about. It was a good as a quick check to understand what the problem might be and great when used alongside internet or if necessary seeking medical help. Illustrations are great and the format/layout was well thought-out.
