The First Year of Life - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Decisions made in a baby's first year, from how to resuscitate the newborn to whether to breastfeed, have an enormous effect on later life. A baby's first year has many specific associated medical problems; hence careful monitoring of babies by medical staff and parents is essential. The First Year of Life gives clear guidance on normal development and how to diagnose and manage illness in the newborn and babies. This fourth edition has been extensively revised in line with current recommendations for practice and new research, and contains new, improved colour illustrations. Topics include: congenital abnormalities, mother-infant attachment, growth and growth charts, feeding and feeding problems, diarrhoea, infection in the newborn, and contraindications to immunisation.
The book practical guide for GPs, junior doctors, nurses, midwives, health visitors, and anyone else who manages babies or advises parents.
