As we are not health professionals, we do not feel that it is appropriate for us to provide medical information on the site.

Instead we will use this section to provide personal stories and links to organisations and web sites that offer parents information and support on day-to-day medical issues that they may confront.

This section is currently split into eight pages:

• one mum's heartbreaking story of her daughter's brain tumour;



• childhood cancer;



• meningitis;



• allergies;



• gastroesophageal reflux;



• speech, language and communication difficulties;



• enuresis (wetting);



• head lice;



• medical information and support.

If you'd like to share your own experiences or know of a good reference site please forward the details to: contributions@forparentsbyparents.co.uk.

If you have specific worries you should contact your Doctor or Health Visitor.
