The Parents Guide to Baby and Child Medical Care

I bought a copy of this book when I had my last two kids in the eighties. I gave my oldest son and his wife a copy when they had their first child four years ago. I also buy a copy for close freinds who are having children. It proved invaluable with my third child (who is now 19) and who was sick much of his early childhood. It was easy to reference and I could quickly look up symptoms and get a step-by-step guide as to what actions to take. And today, I'm not back on the Internet, buying a copy for my daughter, who has a 1-year-old daughter. She remembers using the book when she was a teen and was home with me and her two smaller brothers in the 80's. It's a great parenting guide.

The Parent's Guide to Baby and Medical Care

My wife and I bought a copy of Dr. Hart's handy guide in the early 1980s, and found it very useful in the raising of our four kids over the years. Our copy is always available on a handy bookshelf, and is well thumbed through. I have found the format to be logical, and well thought out. The spiral binding made it easy to use hands free. We like it so much that we bought additional copies as gifts, to give to other parents.

The handbook that did not come with your baby.

"Baby and Child Medical Care" is easily the handbook that didn't come with the birth of your child. Our first child was born in 1983, not long after this book was originally published as "The Parent's Guide to Baby & Child Medical Care". The book has paid for itself in spades throughout the ensuing years (and children). The format of "Baby & Child Medical Care" is the secret of it's value. It includes an easy to understand description of common infant and child medical issues along with a "how to" guide for treating them. Most importantly, information is provided as to when it is advisable to seek "professional" help. The "Guide . . ." has been invaluable in the raising and care of our children. It should be included with the release papers upon leaving the hospital at the birth of every child.
