Published in association with the leading parenting magazine, this book presents common sense advice to help parents identify their child's illness and to take appropriate action. In A-Z format, each entry is divided into easy-to-follow segments with an instant action plan, and at-a-glance tables, charts and diagrams. Drawing on feedback from readers of "Practical Parenting", the book covers all key topics in an accessible format. Other sections include safety, first aid, immunisation, hygiene and avoiding cot death, plus a glossary of leading associations.
