Health Diary

In case of an emergency while your child is at daycare, be prepared with a health diary for each child. It should include: names and phone numbers of doctors and dentists; height and weight; immunization history (including adverse reactions); dates of developmental milestones; blood type; location and size of any distinguishing birthmarks; chronic conditions; childhood illnesses (already contracted); and, the names of all medications your child is taking (has taken). Update this as needed.
