Customer Reviews
Useful reference guide!
My 5 month old daughter was really poorly one night and I rang an old friend (mother of two) for advice, she used this book as a reference and said it had always proved useful with her children. The easy to follow guide and clear information can be reassuring at 3am in the morning with a young child! I bought it on her recommendation and have found it a great help.
Very good and easy to understand
