The Doctors Book of Home Remedies for Children: From Allergies and Animal Bites to Toothaches and TV

This is a small paperback with very densely printed pages. It's not for those with poor eyesight, and it's not beautiful. But it's packed with information and advice to help a parent know what to do in a variety of situations and when to call the doctor. I have three small children, and the advice to me looks sound and sensible.

This should be called "Prevention's Book of What You Can Buy At A Pharmacy". There are actually no home remedies. I would expect to find things like tea tree oil for acne, or a salt solution or garlic for an ear infection. Instead, it advises you to buy benzoyl peroxide or see a doctor for acne and warm water (and a doctor!) for an ear ache. As if people would never think to go to Walgreens and buy some zit cream! There is no mention of things we would actually have on hand to treat symptoms. It appears that every illness mentioned in the book will either resolve itself or you need to see a doctor. I cannot understand why buying drugs would be considered a home remedy unless you live in a pharmacy.

If you want to buy a book for a new mother that will actually help, buy one of the "What to Expect" books. I have used them many times when I was a new mother.
