Growing Up Healthy

Welcome to the Sixth Edition of Growing Up Healthy.

Growing Up Healthy from UW Health in Madison, Wisconsin was developed by pediatricians as a resource for parents during the early years of infant and child care.

All information included in Growing Up Healthy was edited and reviewed for accuracy by appropriate specialists. UW Health does not promote any particular form of medical treatment, nor does it encourage self-management of medical problems. This book is meant to supplement, not replace, the advice and care of health care professionals.

Growing Up Healthy was developed by Steven Koslov, MD and Curtis Weatherhogg, MD in collaboration with the UW Health Department of Pediatrics, Richard Ellis, MD, Lisa Bennett, RN and the Meriter Hospital Birthing Center. These materials may be reproduced for use by educational and health professionals providing the materials are unaltered and this reference to authorship and limitation of use is included.
