Description
THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE FROM BIRTH TO 11 YEARS
Drawing on Dr Jane Collins' wealth of expertise as head of Great Ormond Street Hospital, as well as her role as a paediatrician and mother, this essential guide will help you keep your child happy and healthy from birth right up to the age of eleven.
From safe and rewarding breast- and bottle feeding, to developing skills such as language and play, Baby & Child Health examines all aspects of a mother and baby's physical and emotional health in the crucial first year. Dr Collins also offers down-to-earth, authoritative advice on the many challenges of raising children, with the emphasis on preventative healthcare, psychological well-being and positive parenting.
Should your child fall ill, easy-to-use diagnosis charts will help you to identify symptoms and take appropriate action with simple self-help and alternative treatments as well as orthodox remedies and advice on when to call a doctor. Covering over 120 common childhood illnesses, Baby & Child Health explains causes and treatment and includes vital first aid techniques.
Produced with the backing and co-operation of Great Ormond Street Hospital, one of the world's leading children's hospitals, this is the complete childcare guide.
