Produktbeschreibung

In the first few months it is usually very difficult for a mother to tell whether her baby is crying due to colic, hunger, loneliness or illness. It is also true that babies under three months are more vulnerable and you should see your doctor immediately if she has a temperature or you are at all concerned about her. In this book you will find a vast amount of information about childhood illnesses. From fevers to psychosomatic illnesses, bronchitis, measles, meningitis, tick bite fever, whooping cough, ringworm, malaria, cystic fibrosis, Hirschsprung's disease and a great deal more. The chapter DEALING WITH EMERGENCIES, has illustrations and information on how to resuscitate a child, burns, bumps and bruises, convulsions, electric shock, poisoning, snake bites, strains. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW: A - Z is a reference on a large variety of subjects dealing with the latest research. For instance, under 'Allergies', the well-known mantra that mothers should wait until six months before introducing solids has been debunked by the LEAP (Learning Early about Peanut) study. Dr Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., Director, US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAD), who in 2018 ranked as the most highly cited researcher of all time, declared that: 'For a study to show a benefit of this magnitude in the prevention of peanut allergy is without precedent. The results of which have the potential to transform how we approach food allergy prevention.' Under 'Immunisation', a vaccination against pertussis (whooping cough, and other childhood illnesses), is offered during pregnancy as there has been a resurgence of whooping cough. Infants can only be given the vaccine from two months. MARINA PETROPULOS'S EXPERT SPEAKERS.
