I love this reference book. Lendon H. Smith, MD was a well known pediatrician who practiced in Portland. He gives advice on nutrition during pregnancy and also pre-pregnancy (for men and women). The rest of the book is devoted to children and their needs. The funniest thing about this book is that he seems to think a lot of childhood ailments are due to pinworms! Nonetheless I have found it to be irreplacable, even if I need to take some of the advice with a grain of salt.

This man is such a love. His gentle approach to understanding children and their health and behavior issues was so helpful for me as a mother and a clinician. I highly recommend this book to parents or physicians.
