Here we have listed a collection of books that you may
find useful. Try to keep in mind that medical knowledge is always changing
and expanding and that no book will be "state-of-the-art" for long. We have tried to include
only books from reliable authors and publishers, but we can not screen each book
completely. Nothing can replace the knowledge you can obtain by speaking
with your pediatrician, so if you have a question about something you read in
one of these books, please give us a call. More books will be added
periodically.
