We got a chance to review the Sears Parenting Library: The Portable Pediatrician.
courtesy of Hatchette Book group. I wish I knew about portable library in my
early years of parenting. It's filled with lots of helpful information that a parent
needs.
Book Information
The Portable Pediatrician comes from America's leading authorities on childcare-
an encyclopedic guide to your child's health from birth through adolescence.
Yes, Dr. Sears makes house calls! Whether you are up in the middle of the night
with a sick child or looking for sound preventive advice, The Portable Pediatrician
provides the answers you seek. Distinguished by the comprehensiveness, reliability,
and clear, accessible, reassuring tone that has made Sears the most trusted name
in pediatrics, the book includes:
- timely and practical information on every pediatric concern, illness, and emergency, including: allergies, asthma, broken bones, bronchitis, choking, ear infections, eating problems, fever, headaches, heart defects, nosebleeds, pneumonia, rashes, seizures, sleep problems, speech delay, teething, vomiting, warts and much more.
- advice on treating your child at home, when to call the doctor, and precautions you can take to safeguard your child's well-being.
- tips on how to choose a pediatrician and how to devise a family health-maintenance plan.
- a guide to every childhood checkup, from birth through age eighteen, focusing on the important physical, medical, and developmental issues addressed at each visit.
- useful, up-to-date information on first aid and medicines-antibiotics, fever and pain relief, dosages, allergic reactions, stocking up your medicine cabinet, and more.
- a convenient A-Z format and an easy-to-use imdex for quick reference.
As medical professionals, as parents, and as the pediatric experts to whom
Americans are increasingly turning for advice on all aspects of pregnancy,
birth, childcare and family nutrition, the Searses bring to this book a vast
range of knowledge and experience. The Portable Pediatrician is a rich,
invaluable resource for every parent. It equips you to understand the myriad
facets of your child's physical development-and to become the best caregiver
you can be.
