Customer Reviews

Very happy with purchasing this book
I saw this book in a catalog and searched amazon and sure enough, there it was $10 cheaper. So I purchased the book and it was exactly what I was hoping it was. There is a lot of place to put oodles of information. Some of it can be repetative at times but overall this is a great tool. I like being able to see exactly what medications my child has taken at what times and just keeping a running track of all illnesses so that when I head to his dr. I can give her accurate information. Definitely pleased with my purchase.

Great way to stay organized
I have an 8 week old son & so far, this book has been a great place to record his dr visits and track immunizations, medications, etc. I really like the pages of various growth charts. I can fill in his information and see percentiles and keep track of everything! I've already ordered a 2nd copy so that our next child will have a matching book :)

Record keeper
Good idea if you love to keep detailed records. My son had surgery and it was a great place to keep all the info but didn't use it much for routine care
