CHILD'S MEDICAL RECORD BOOK

Rating:
Summary: Child's Medical Record Book
Review: This book is not a paperback, it is more the quality of a passport; and after years of use (my children now ages 8 & 5) I can testify that it has really made my life easier. Try it, you will see.

Summary: Don't leave town without it
Review: This book tries to provide a place to keep all your records, but it's omissions and inconsistent layout make it unacceptable for me. The page entitled "Birth of Child" doesn't even have a place for the birth weight, length or head circumference ("Progress Reports" for that information starts at 2 weeks). Teething and Dental Records are completely ignored; instead, you get 20 of the 72 pages relating to Medicine and Dosage (allowing 108 enties)! I'd rather spend my money (about 1/4 the cost of this book) on the "American Academy of Pediatrics Child Health Record"; which despite its many omissions, packs much more into its 24 pages, (such as: birth details, developmental landmarks, growth charts and recommendations for vacinations and dental records).

Review: Ths book has come in handy numerous times, most recently on a trip out of state. The doctor was pleased, and impressed, when we were able to give the relevant history (medications, dosages, results) on the spot. We've found this to be the single best baby gift we received, and we've given copies to new mothers many times since, always with great success.

This book contains the information you need year to year. Your child and the pediatrician will thank you for getting, and using, this durable book.
