About this book

Inspired by the questions pediatricians are most often asked, this guide provides on-the-spot, concise advice for those who are unsure about how to handle their child’s condition. Offering the insight of a parent of children under the age of three and the experience of a pediatrician, this resource provides information on a diverse range of topics, including How can I be sure that my newborn is getting enough to eat? Should I worry that my child has a fever after getting his shots today? What should I do if I think my child swallowed a coin? and I don't know what vaccine information to trust—should I vaccinate my son? in a reassuring yet humorous tone.
