...for your child’s health with this tip from Dr Jess:

Buy an A4 notebook when your child is born. When your child is ill, make a note of her symptoms such as her temperature, the time and what medication you gave. All this info is important so that your doctor can get the full picture of your child’s health.

When you visit your doctor, write down any instructions, as well as the diagnosis, in the book, and if you have a prescription ask the pharmacist for a copy so that you can staple it into the book. This will ensure that everyone is on board and especially if you need to visit a new doctor for some reason, he or she will be able to get an overview of your child’s health and treat her more comprehensively.
