Taking Care of Your Child offers the most recent information on obesity, behavioral issues, and other critical health concerns, along with updated immunization schedules and new material on complementary and alternative medicine. Taking Care of Your Child is easy to use, even in a crisis.

Easy-to-follow decision charts show exactly when to take a child to see a doctor. Covering more than 100 common complaints—like injuries, allergies, and childhood diseases—and with especially clear advice on handling emergencies, it is the indispensable guide for parents.

Taking Care of Your Child September 30, 2008
Caroline Cyr

Great book for new moms December 9, 2007
Chalene Mueller (Hurricane, UT USA)
I purchased an earlier version of this book when my first child was an infant. I continued to use the book until they were teenagers. It was the most used of my parenting books. I purchase this book for shower gifts for soon-to-be moms. They will find it useful, when their child is ill, in making decisions about when to call the doctor and when not to worry.
Knowing when to panic is half the battle December 8, 2007
ClaudiaK (Florida)
I still have the copy of the book my mother-in-law gave me 30 years ago, and the worn cover reminds me of how often I referred to it while my now-adult children were growing up. I'm ordering 3 copies of the updated version today; it's the perfect gift for all the brand new parents I know. Want to know when to alienate the doctor by calling at midnight and when to wait until Monday morning? This book is The One..... Want to walk into the pediatrician's office with a clear, concise idea of what symptoms to convey? It's The One. Want to avoid a trip to the doctor's office or urgent care center altogether? This book can help you do that with confidence and a clear conscience. It's definitely an excellent buy for any and all parents.
Wonderful Informational Book September 5, 2007
Marcia A Kelsey (Wilton Manors, Fl United States)
This is a great guide. I received my copy in 1977 when my daughter was born. I used it for years! Loved the flow charts. Definately eases the panic of parents. Explains so much! I have bought several copies of this book-first for friends in the 70's having their children, and now the updated book for the next generation of new parents....our children having children.
Doctor in the House August 15, 2007
R. Russell (Cincinnati, OH)
This book is like having a doctor in the house. My pediatrician took me more seriously when I called because I only called or visited when it was truly necessary. This book is so helpful in the way it works you through the problem and informs you of what to expect when you do have to visit the doctor. I highly recommend this book to new parents; it will give you more credibility when you visit the doctor and you are not seen as an anxious new parent.
