Customer Reviews

This is AWESOME.
I purchased this healthtracks book/binder when my daughter was about 9 months old. I was so frustrated with trying to keep all my things in one folder, and it was already getting messy. There is a place to mark each tooth, when it comes in.... each illness... each prescription.... each physician visit, immunizations, and it goes all the way up to the teenage years. There is even a space to record menstrual cycles in girls! Holy COW! I wish I had this earlier, but I was happy to spend the time copying all my daughter's information into one place. It fits easily into the diaper bag for all my physician visits, and also has pockets inside to store shot records and other things that you may get from the physician office. It has areas for physician contact info, insurance information, etc. I feel like if anything ever happened to me, my husband or family would know what they needed to about my child's health. I am pregnant again and will be buying one for my second child as well. I hope they never discontinue this!

unique gift
I gave this as a baby shower gift. It was a hit & she certainly didn't get two of them. New moms would be surprised how often you need to remember the stuff this book is designed to organize. My friend plans to by it for her sister who has a special needs child who has a lot of doctor appointments.

A Place For Everything
I bought this item for my daughter after her baby was born. With all of the stuff she needs to keep up with, organizing is a must. So, at least all of the items can be filed together for reference later when needed. It is easier to start out with an organizer than try to catch up later-so do it now.
