Your Toddler: Head To Toe

Encompassing virtually every medical circumstance and condition relating to toddlers, this one-of-a-kind guide explains, in a clear and comforting tone, precisely what is happening on the inside and outside of your child's body - not only when your child is sick but also in the course of healthy growth and development.

In covering the full spectrum of childhood maladies - from ear infections to rashes and bruises, from fevers to broken bones, from diminished appetite to sleep problems - Dr. Cara Familian Natterson explains what you can and should do for your child before you call the doctor. Your Toddler: Head to Toe also describes and illustrates medical treatments and maneuvers that you can administer at home (such as resetting a dislocated elbow) so you can avoid a doctor visit altogether.

This book can also help you recognize symptoms when your child isn't feeling well, which can be a challenge, especially if your toddler is preverbal and can't articulate what ails her.
