My Child's Health Records Book
was developed after my son was born. I just thought I was organizationally challenged
before, now I was sleep deprived also! We'd come home from a Doctor's
appointment and my husband would ask what the doctor had to say. I would
just stare at him with a blank look wondering the same thing myself. So I
sat down and designed forms to fill out before we even left for the next
appointment. I never again forgot to ask the doctor a question, or forgot
what he said. Health Records Books make great Baby Shower or New Mother gifts.

My son's pediatrician was impressed with the records I was keeping in my
first version of this book. I always knew how many ear
infections my son had, how far apart they
were and what antibiotics had been
prescribed. He told me he wished all his
parents kept up with their kids health like this. (I think he liked not
having to decipher his own handwriting in the official records!)
The nurses tended to rely on the information in my book as to where my
son's last immunization site was so they could give him his latest shot in
the opposite leg. I could also write down how to care for the immunization
site. (Was it hot then cold compresses or cold then hot?)
My Mom can't remember if I had mumps or
not. I have illness records for my son and
more at my fingertips with this book.
