Description
Beginning with the growing embryo during pregnancy, the author guides the reader through the birth; the postnatal period and breastfeeding; care of newborn babies; meals for babies; and caring for children when they are sick. He includes useful sections on bottle-feeding, almond milk, and water quality.
This new edition has been expanded to include matters of contraception, drugs, a father’s presence during birthing, thumb sucking, sleep, crib death, overheating, and more.
Dr zur Linden’s commentary on these issues is the fruit of a lifetime of experience as a pediatrician and general practitioner. Parents will find his indications for proper care, nutrition, and raising children a real resource and support.
