A Parent's Guide to First Aid

With two young children I found this book both very informative and easy to read. It is an excellent addition to my home library.

Really cool book

I just got this book as a present, for my baby shower. I hope I never need to use it, but it has really cool information in it. Like, all the stuff about ear infections, which every kid I know seems to get. And the best thing is, it looks like you can find everything really easy in it. Like, you don't have to spend hours going through the index.

Really good book

I'm buying this as a gift for all of my friends who are expecting. It will take them through infancy to teens and beyond--the info in here is applicable to adults as well. It's just such as nice, easy to read book, chock full of great info. It covers everything from a simple scrape to the real serious stuff.

Great comprehensive book

I've been looking for a first aid book to keep in the house, but the others that I've seen are either too skimpy on the information, or make you wade through pages of medical jargon until you can find what you're looking for. The one is concise, easy to read, lets you find exactly what you're looking for, and full of good information. I highly recommend it.

Owners Manual for Junior

Did you get an owners manual for your baby before you left the hospital? No? How come? Even your toaster comes with a little booklet, that tells you not to use it in the bathtub. Surely a child is more complicated and deserves a bit of an explanation.A Parent's Guide to First Aid is the first part of that missing manual. You still have to figure out how to pay for college, but this book can help you make sure junior lives long enough to make it there. It helps you tell the difference between a scrape that requires a little TLC, and those hopefully rare times when a trip to the emergency room is in order.If you are like me, you don't read the manual except as a last resort. This book takes that into consideration, by making it easy to zero in on the information you need in an emergency, with the contents organized by problem, and easy to follow instructions and illustrations.Perhaps the best part of the book are "Tips for Prevention," which might cause you to read the book before you need it. With a little luck and advance care, the knowledge you gain just might help you and junior to dodge any real emergencies. I don't have children myself, but I give this book to friends who do. As an outsider I see the frantic search for answers when things go a little awry. I know I would be in a complete panic too.Do yourself a favor and get this book, or give it to somebody who has children. One less trip to the emergency room will make the book worth it. And who knows, perhaps the knowledge you gain will save a life.
