Review
Excellently comprehensive home medical encyclopedia for all parents inclined towards natural medicine and childcare methods, covering nutrition, sleeping, exercise, household and lifestyle influences as well as health and ailments. The A-to-Z section of common ailments forms only a small portion of the book, and offers a sensible balance between orthodox medicine where necessary and recommended natural remedies where appropriate, often as an adjunct to medical treatment. Sullivan is a well-established healthcare writer, author of over 20 books and mother of two sons. Her approach is child friendly, flexible and well-informed, and she supports her more contentious views (she is against letting babies cry themselves to sleep, favours co-sleeping and is distrustful of routine vaccinations too early in babyhood for example) with solid evidence. She offers extensive advice on nutrition, including a chart for scoring a child's current diet for good and bad ingredients, and plenty of helpful tips for gradually swinging the balance towards healthier alternatives. There's also a sensible discussion on current food issues including BSE, hormones and antibiotics, food additives, genetically-modified ingredients, allergies and food intolerance. Her non-food advice is similarly practical, such as hints on limiting television hours, and up to date, including the suggested risks of mobile phones, and includes issues parents might overlook, such as the importance of light for children. Throughout, the approach emphisizes both dealing with problems should they arise and lifestyle measures to avoid them where possible. (Kirkus UK)
