Many moms think of the pediatrician's office as simply a place to treat their baby's illnesses. But your neighborhood pediatric clinic is also a place where you can check on and discuss whether your baby is growing well and how best to raise them. This book is that pediatric clinic, in book form. What are the 5 most common illnesses babies experience? Colds, atopic dermatitis, gastroenteritis, ear infections, and asthma. And what are the 5 most common symptoms when babies are sick? Fever, coughing, stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. This book includes essential guidance that parents need to know for each of these 5 major illnesses and symptoms. You'll clearly understand when to see a doctor, when to go to the emergency room, and what to watch for at home. Afraid of vaccinations? Worried about breastfeeding because of environmental hormones? Compared to the risk of your baby getting sick, the side effects of vaccination are extremely minor. Skipping vaccinations out of fear of side effects puts your baby at far greater risk. Please make sure your baby gets vaccinated. Many moms also worry about breastfeeding due to concerns about environmental hormones, but there's no need for excessive worry. Based on all research to date, breast milk remains the best food for babies. Don't forget—breast milk is best for your baby! Wondering if your baby is growing properly? Want to know if your baby is overweight? We've prepared just what you need. Check the 'WHO Child Growth Standards' and the 'Korean Pediatric Society Growth Standards' included in the back of this book. You can instantly check whether your baby is growing well and how much weight they've gained. Want to raise your baby in your own special way? First, you need to understand the general principles. And you also need to know when it's okay to deviate from them. For example, take the guideline to stop bottle-feeding and start whole milk after the first birthday: starting whole milk after age one is a principle worth following to some degree, but stopping the bottle exactly at age one is not an absolute rule. This is why parents need to keep learning about parenting and seek advice, so they can raise their precious baby even more healthily. Parenting isn't a numbers game. It's a special process built on a close relationship between baby and mother over a long period of time. For your precious baby—when they have a fever, when they cough, when their stomach hurts, when they vomit, when they have diarrhea, when they have convulsions—and most importantly, even before they get sick, keep this book close by and refer to it always.
