Dorling Kindersley Complete Mother and Baby Care

Rate this book
Having a baby opens up a whole new and exciting world - but it can seem a dauntingly unfamiliar world too. Most of us know very little about pregnancy and babycare at first, and we quickly find that there is seldom a "right" or a "wrong" way of doing things. But there's often an easy way. This book aims to show what parents have found worked best and what makes life easiest. Organised in three sections, it offers a guide through pregnancy stage by stage, showing how to make it a happy, healthy time for the mother, giving her baby the best possible start to life. In over 800 colour photographs it shows the basics of babycare, offering practical solutions to common problems with reassuring advice. The book contains a photographic diary of one woman's pregnancy and an illustrated account of the first six weeks of one baby's life.

Міні-ютуб на 200 сторінок: детальні, покрокові ілюстрації та доступні пояснення про те, як дбати за дитиною від перших днів у всіх аспектах. Гарно, що ж поділ на дівчаток і хлопчиків, а також немовлят і дітей до 3 років.
Для батьків, які ще в очікування - буде цікаво. Для батьків, які хоча б тиждень дбають про дитину - не так і багато відкриттів.

Skvělá kniha. Bohatě by Vám stačila tahle jedna jediná. Je tu, jak info o těhotenství, tak o porodu, péče o dítě, první pomoc atd. Jsou zde i různé ulevové techniky, cvičení, možnosti tišení bolesti.

I found information in the book very basic, but I guess that's the point. If you had small kids in your family, I believe you already know most of the stuff written here about babies, however the first part about pregnancy was quite interesting.

Not bad for mother and baby care for the first year and a little for beyond. Good fit the last section of introduction to baby illnesses their symptoms, accidents injuries and what to do fit a newly mother although some remedies were old and not used any more stretch ad baby powder which is no longer in use and hydra side effects for the baby.

I think it's safe to say this book is a good, practical guide for future mothers out there (and fathers, too). Especially if you're expecting your first child. I enjoyed reading it and loved that it had all those pictures - it really helps to know what you will be dealing with.

Stručná, prehľadná a aktualizovaná na naše slovenské podmienky. Hlavne pri zmätkoch sa v nej človek dokáže rýchlo zorientovať a nájsť čo práve potrebuje, aby vyriešil "aktuálnu pohromu".
