4.0 out of 5 stars Useful reference guide!, 28 Jan 2006

M. Davies - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Baby & Child Healthcare: The Essential A-Z Home Reference to Children's Illnesses, Symptoms and Treatments (Hardcover)

My 5 month old daughter was really poorly one night and I rang an old friend (mother of two) for advice, she used this book as a reference and said it had always proved useful with her children. The easy to follow guide and clear information can be reassuring at 3am in the morning with a young child! I bought it on her recommendation and have found it a great help.
