From the most famous children's hospital in the UK, Great Ormond Street, this essential guide will help you keep your child happy and healthy from birth to the age of eleven.

From breast and bottle-feeding to developing skills such as language and play, find out about your baby's physical and emotional health in the crucial first year. Follow down-to-earth, authoritative advice on the many challenges of raising children and read objective advice on a range of topics, including sex education, alcohol, smoking, drugs, and trends in child healthcare.

Should your child fall ill, easy-to-use diagnosis charts for over 120 illnesses from hair and scalp problems to infectious disease will help you identify symptoms to take action fast - from following alternative or orthodox treatments, to calling a doctor. Plus, a chapter on first aid means you'll know what to do in an emergency.
