highly recommended

In Natural Healthy Babies And Children, midwife and herbalist Aviva Romm offers an A-to-Z handbook that addresses common health issues of children, from newborns to pre-adolescents. Aviva's whole-child approach integrates herbal remedies, nutrition, hygiene, and alternative health techniques with supportive, informed parenting. This book is indispensable reading for families seeking safe, effective ways to practise healing techniques at home.

Informative

I am learning a lot as my kids grow. This book is full of information about home herbal remedies, many of them from things I am growing in the garden. I like it's emphasis on health through nature. The book is divided up into problems with solutions and has several very informative introductory chapters. I would recommend this for anyone who has young (or older!) children and is tired of being dependent on cough medicines that don't work and sugar suspended tylenol that rots the teeth and doesn't help the problem.

Great Book for the New Mother

This book has been an awsome reference. When my son gets a fever they go high. I didn't like always giving tylenol. Aviva gives great ideas for this and so much more. I have looked up so many ailments for my kids, but just as much for friends that I have told about the book. She gives advice on most of the common illnesses, including a breif summary, causes, symptoms, dietary recommendations, Herbal recommendations, remedies and more. She is not against a doctors care and actually recommends it when neccisary. But she gives many other common sence options to try before taking your child in for a two minute appointment that costs $100 and ends up with a, "yep he has a cold give it a few days and he'll be fine."

Exellent book

This book says so much, it makes you want to call up the author and thank her.

Daughter asked for book and loves it

My daughter requested this book and she is very happy with it. She has applied some of what she read here to care for her daughter who was born premature and it has helped her. My daughter said there is a lot of things in it that make sense. I looked the book over and agree - it is a great book.

Great Starter Book

This book has some great information in it. I would recommend this book to others. The only reason I gave it four stars is because ultimately I am lazy and probably won't end up following any of the "recipes" she provides. Not to mention that the bath recipes could end up plugging my pipes! Aviva does have some great resources in the back of the book to buy products though...a bonus for me! If anything now I know what herbs to look for in already made products.
