Best Book to Keep on Your Nightstand!

I keep both Newborn Head to Toe and Toddler Head to Toe on my nightstand to refer to questions I have about my 2yr old and 10mos. old. This book discusses a lot of common problems that your kids may have in a very matter of fact, non-alarmist, informative way. I have some of the other books that people have discussed in earlier reviews but, they are so bulky and dense, it takes a while to find the answer you need. This one is great for a quick reference and has been helpful for when I should call the Dr. and what questions to ask. Absolutely indispensible!

A very useful reference

I found this to be a great compliment to my list of reliable resources. If my kids aren't bleeding or have a raging fever, I consult this book before I call the doctor's office with minor concerns. It has helped me get "smart" on infant conditions and what I can do about them. But although I like this book I woulld NEVER substitite it for a call to the doctor if I had doubts or questions.

Useful and Openminded from a pregnant MD reader

Dr. Natterson overviews all sorts of concerns that new parents have about their babies, in an informed and comforting way. Her attitude on breastfeeding is encouraging and realistic. She certainly reccomends breastfeeding in all situations where it is possible, but supports those mothers for whom it is not feasible. Too often these women are made to feel like failures and are unable to discuss these problems with their pediatrician. Better to provide informed advice than pressure.

This one of a kind guide explains to new parents, in a clear and comforting tone, precisely what is happening inside their new baby's body, the reasons behind various standard post-delivery hospital procedures, and, once baby is at home, what parents can and should do before they call the doctor. In the age of managed care, many paediatricians are unable to find the time to impart even basic medical information - the very information that might reassure parents and help them understand the difference between danger signs and normal development. At the same time, many parents are unable to distil the information they get from the paediatrician, because, even when baby is perfectly healthy, visits to the doctor's office tend to be chaotic and parents may not have their wits about them, may fail to ask the very questions that are on their mind, or may feel reluctant to waste a doctor's time. For any new parent who has left a delivery room or a paediatrician's office with unanswered (and perhaps even unasked) questions, Your Newborn: Head To Toe will be an essential resource.
