Format:Paperback
This book is an excellent reference book to take on any holiday when you are traveling with babies or small chidlren. We took it to Nepal with us when we took our 7 month old baby, Jamie, and it provided to be an invaluable source of information and advice. It is worth reading before you travel as it has useful tips on what to take and what to avoid. It is clearly laid out and well written so that any concerned parent would find it useful. It has excellent checklists that you can use to determine if the symptoms your child has are serious in any way and provides some excellent advice. Everytime my husband was worrying about any health issues I would tell him to read THE book! I would highly recommend it to any parent travelling especially if they are traveling to a remote destination such as within Asia, Africa or Latin America. We still use it now when our son gets ill - one of the best health advice books I have come across - one of a kind!

Format:Paperback
I purchased this book before a move to West Africa and have relied upon it totally with regard to the health of my 3 children, including a baby. It is very well written containing a wealth of down to earth practical advice on all sorts of health issues that may arise. The style in which it is written reassures the reader that the advice is sound, and for the most part, seems to be based upon the personal experience of the writer. I would suggest that any family travelling even slightly off the beaten track should pack a copy of this book.

Format:Paperback
An extremely helpful manual to reassure and give confidence when taking children abroad. It covers everything we've ever needed when travelling with children on holiday in Europe and in more remote areas of Asia and Africa. I would highly recommend this as an accessible book with advice that is easy to understand and follow. Don't leave home without a copy in your bag!
