Published previously as
The Penguin India Guide to Child Care, this revised and updated edition
of Dr. Anand's handbook offers a definitive guide to the parent
on pregnancy and childrearing from infancy to the teenage years.
Authored by one of India's foremost paediatricians and an
internationally renowned authority on breastfeeding, the book combines a
knowledge of traditional childrearing practices with the latest
medical developments in child care.
Dr. Anand's Guide to Child Care answers questions such as:
Is
there a right age to have a baby?
What
can I do when my baby cries?
Can
a working mother successfully breastfeed?
How
helpful is a joint family in bringing up children?
UNICEF, WHO and WABA along with the scientific community strongly
recommend initiating breastfeeding within half an hour of birth. Evidence
shows that early initiation can prevent 22% of all deaths among babies
below one month in developing countries. Every newborn, when placed
on the mother’s abdomen, has ability to find its mother’s breast all on
its own and to decide for herself when to take the first breastfeed. This
is known as the ‘Breast Crawl’. [more]
No book can be a substitute for the advice of a good doctor.
Your family physician or paediatrician knows you and your child.
So you must consult them for your child's problem.
