A Waldorf Guide to Children's Health: Illnesses, Symptoms, Treatments and Therapies

I wanted to recommend this book to other parents, but I dislike the section on sleep so much that I can’t bring myself to recommend it. The book is overall a great book to have on hand when raising children. The section on sleep says that toddlers “should sleep in a crib; an open bed is impractical because it is much easier for them to bother you if they can get out easily.” “Take your child into your own bed only as a last resort.” “You hear you’re child screaming. You *must* ignore it for five minutes.” That might be helpful to some people, but I wanted to mention it for those who take an attachment parenting approach and who might be put off by this section.

Invaluable book for all parents.

Good general health book covering diseases,causes,symptoms,immunity,complications,remedies and action to be taken under each disease.First page has emergency content/diseases with pages listed that are most common to your child. There is also few pictures included.
