It is a fact that Baby Care begins right from the day or before a woman conceives. We all know that a mother plays the most significant role in a child's life. So, in order to bring a new life on this earth, a woman must be physically and mentally ready to go through the pleasures and pain of the nine-month long pregnancy and the precautions and care that she should take throughout this period to give birth to a healthy and happy baby.
Baby Care & Child Health Problems presents complete and exhaustive information about the various facets of Pregnancy, how a baby grows inside the mother's womb and finally comes out of the mother's body as a newborn with a bundle of joy for everyone in the family. It also deals in detail how an expectant mother should get ready by making a list and collecting all the essential items required for her and her baby before his/her arrival in the family.
The book is different from other Baby Care books as it explains in a unique and stepwise manner the various phases of a mother's life with the newborn, i.e., the first few weeks when a baby routine has to be planned, then the first three to six months, the food habits and ways of feeding, the sleeping patterns and duration, baby diapers, types of baby diapers and their correct usage, bathing the baby, keeping him/her in a clean and hygienic surrounding, etc. It also deals elaborately how to clean the baby's hair, skin, nose, ears, trim his/her nails, the application of oil or cream on the baby's body by a light massage, etc., in a detailed and systematic manner.
Well, that's not all. The book also provides valuable information regarding Premature Baby Care, i.e., care of the child which is born before the due period of nine months, his/her feeding habits, growth chart, health problems and various other needs with special tips from specialists and pediatricians. How to deal with the common health problems, such as flu, teething fever, common cold, nappy rash, loose motions or constipation, vomiting and asthma.
