Summary: Very helpful in a pinch
Review: This is the first place I go when I have a question about my 5-month-old's health. So often I haven't been sure if it is something serious or something normal and this book has helped me decide. The format really helped to clear things up. I wish some of the sections (rashes especially) would have little pictures to help you determine if it applied for you or not. It also helps me to know the critical issues so when I do talk to the pediatrician I can describe the symptoms a little better.

Summary: Great Reference
Review: We've looked in this book a few times to answer questions. If you think there is a problem, you will call your pediatrician. For that reason I would say that this is clearly a secondary reference. As such, we have used it to see that our son was progressing well through a particular illness or what have you.It's a very good point of reference.
