Must Have handbook for parenthood

I listened to this and before finishing the second chapter ordered the paperback to have on hand and gifted a copy to my sister (who is also a new mom) and mother. This book relieved many of my fears as a first-time parent of how to handle various sicknesses and ailments at home, as well as when to seek medical care, as well as confirmed my views on childhood vaccinations. So happy I found this

a must for all parents

A great and educational book on how to put your mind at ease and raise your children without pumping them full of drugs and relaxing to let their body do what it's supposed to do.

Still Applies Today!

Love this book! Even though it is an older book, a lot of the information still applies today. I do a lot of outside research on how to raise healthy kids, and this lines up with what I've found and is also essential to any kids health book collection! Definitely worth a read, and a reread! Highly recommend!

Must-read

Best book I've read as a parent. It provides an incredible amount of information to gain peace of mind, feel prepared for what may come, and avoid unnecessary trips to the pediatrician.

Filled be with knowledge and confidence

I am truly grateful to have come across this book. I’m excited for the second read! I’m going to buy the physical version so I can always have it. Audible acts distasteful and only lets you listen to it with an active membership.
