I found this book to be very helpful when my children were small and so much was frightening for me. The colds, the allergies... it helped me to learn to stand up for my children. I learned not to run to the doctor for every little thing, and not to take a doctor's opinion as infallible.

This book was really helpful but alot of it was common sense.
Excellent read! Great eye-opener.
I read this upon becoming a new mother, more than a decade ago. Eventually I loaned out my copy, bought another copy & gave that away, and now have a new copy to keep on my shelf...and my child is nearly grown!
I can never thank Dr. Mendelsohn enough for helping me deal with the many issues that arose, in a calm & competant manner. Through the colic, scary high fevers, unrelenting diarrhea, gushing head wounds, broken fingers, allergies & worry, worry, worry...I had Dr. Mendelsohn & Susan Weed to provide me with the kind of support that mothers & grandmothers used to provide. The kind of support few of us were raised with or have available to us in modern society.
I've just picked up the book again...and surprise, still more useful information... Maybe I'll have to give this copy to my grown child & get another one!
