Item of the Week - Your Family Health Organizer

Thursday, September 8, 2011 Submitted by Allison

After some great advice on how to choose the right doctor you will want to get your family health organized. This book "Your Family Health Organizer: Record Parents' and Kids' Medical Information All in One Place" will help you do that. Although baby books have a place for medical information I find it very difficult to keep all the books updated. They also have a lot of non medical info and are more of a keepsake than a practical book. Having everything in one place is significantly easier.

This book is a 3 ring binder with sections for 2 parents and 3 children. If you have more than 3 children you may consider getting two books.

The organizer provides space for recording all the family's medical information, including:

Birth details
Identification profiles, allowing for fingerprints of each person for security and safety
Medications prescribed and any reactions to them
Wellness checkups, immunizations, doctor's appointments
Tracking information for each child's growth and other milestones
Tracking information for baby teeth, dental appointments and results
Dates and other details of hospital stays.

Using a book like this can help you prevent medical mix ups, track medication side effects, and immunization records for school. Having everything in one place makes it easier to add info, take it with you to the doctors, and have others find the info they need (ie your husband). This book can be found on Amazon.com for $13.57 with free super saver shipping.
