Liked it

Very nicely explained first aid techniques using visuals to teach. As an RN I give this book as a gift to first time parents so they feel they are prepared for minor and major situations involving children.

It can happen to any of our precious babies, please buy this book

Today I tried resuscitating a 5 month old baby. He died later in the pediatric ER. I have a 3 month old, it hit me pretty hard. Parents...please know what to do if your baby aspirates on his own vomit...know how to clear his airway and provide artificial ventilations and chest compressions. Doing this will help tremendousely until we can get there. Thanks.

clearly presented, good info

All the info you need, presented clearly. Strikes me as very useful to actually read in case you ever experience such an emergency, yet it is actually organized clearly and written concisely enough that in the case of an actual accident, you can look things up quickly if you need to.

The BEST fisrt aid and CPR book I've found

This is the BEST first aid and CPR book I've found. It is clear, easy to follow, and easy to find the page you need quickly. THe pictures are very helpfull and illustrate what you need to do. I will be giving this book at all baby showers I attend.

Great resource for parents

This is a very good resource book for parents. It includes photographs rather than drawings, making it easier to understand the procedures being described. I think this helps parents who may have limited reading skills or for whom English is not their first language. This would be a great book to give as a baby shower gift.
