Synopsis

This guide to baby and childcare aims to cover the complete experience of parenthood, and to equip parents with the necessary skill, information and confidence to raise healthy and happy children. Divided into five sections - "The Newborn Baby", "Everyday Care", "Play and Development", "Family Life" and "Medicine and Healthcare" - the book offers informative explanations and suggestions. Boy/girl panels highlight aspects of care and development where the sexes benefit from and need a different approach. Dr Stoppard has combined both traditional and up-to-date approaches to create a guide that is easy to use and ideal for quick-reference consultation.

From Booklist:

Dr. Stoppard, author of Conception, Pregnancy, and Birth (1993) and other titles, is a well-known authority on the health of women and children. Her version of "complete" includes coverage from birth through age five and a look at many special issues concerning health problems and development. Among the special issues that receive lesser coverage elsewhere but careful examination here are giftedness, attention deficit disorder, stuttering, and chronic conditions, such as asthma and epilepsy. The book is neatly designed, that is, emergency information is made readily accessible and everyday facts highly eye-catching. A must to place on the shelves beside the invaluable works of Penelope Leach. Denise Perry Donavin
