The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is an organization of 67,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety and well-being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults. The AAP is the largest pediatric publisher in the world, with a diverse list of resources that includes essential clinical and practice management titles and award-winning books for parents.

This book is of high quality, serving a much-needed area of pediatric practice. It is the first title to present both practice and policy guidelines together, and thus cannot be compared to another title. From a practitioner standpoint, this book will be incredibly helpful in any practice." — Michael Harries, M.A.T., M.D., University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine
