Do your kiddos ever wait to get sick until late at night, on the weekends, holidays, etc...or is that just our kids? We could not have received this book at a better time! My whole house has been full of germs the past couple weeks and we were able to really put this book to good use!
If you are not familiar with material from Dr. Sears, he is a favorite resource in our house! He and his wife Martha and his sons Robert, James and Peter have written numerous books and articles on birth, breastfeeding, childcare, health, nutrition, discipline, etc...

The main topics include:
