Baby Medbasics: Lifesaving Action Steps at Your Fingertips: Birth to One Year by Luke Herman, M.D. and Tara Summers Hermann, R.N., B.S.N., Running Press, 2011.

About the book:
“From allergic reactions, bites & stings, bleeding, burns, and choking, to CPR, falls, fever, poisoning and rashes, Baby MEDBASICS covers a wide range of situations with simple step-by-step instructions on how to respond. And since a common confusion among caretakers is the difference between what can be treated at home and what requires professional assistance — this book offers clear information on when to take action and when to call for help. It also gives readers concise, effective information to take immediate action as their baby’s first responder in many emergency situations.

Baby MEDBASICS provides emergency care tips for infants from birth to one year and fits perfectly into any diaper bag.”


My Review:
The beauty of Baby MEDBASICS is that it is super compact and straight to the point for emergency action steps. Many baby books have so much extra stuff that it’s hard to find the medical information in a hurry. This is a no-nonsense guide that is very easy to navigate and full of important information.

I plan on leaving my copy of this book with babysitters and anyone who cares for my infant son. Baby MEDBASICS would make a great gift and is must have for caregivers of an infant. I highly recommend this book.
