The Everything Parent's Guide to Childhood Illnesses: Expert Advice That Dispels Myths and Helps Parents Recognize Symptoms and Understand Treatments

This is an awesome book - not just for parents. It's certainly made for parents who want to take better care of their kids (newborns to 18y olds), but it's also fun to read, as the author covers all the things that "you already knew from your grandma". I mean, who doesn't think that you catch a cold when you go out into the cold with wet hair? Who doesn't believe in "white snot is ok, but green snot is very bad"? The author expertly describes all the common symptoms and treatments, so you can be sure to be able to take good care of your child. I very much enjoyed this book, even though I'm not a parent yet. Save yourself hours of waiting in the hospital when your kid gets a fever at two in the mornings. Be able to read the symptoms and know what to do - and get a good sleep. :)
