Most Of You Have A Doctor Or Nurse Practitioner You Can
Consult. By Glancing At A Rash Or Asking A Couple Of Questions Over
The Telephone, They May Find A Solution To A Problem
That May Not Be Found By Consulting A Book. Dr. Spock'S Baby And
Child Care Is Not Meant To Be Used For Diagnosis Or Treatment; It'S Only
Meant To Give You A General Understanding Of Children, Their Troubles, And Their
Needs. It Is True That Certain Sections Of The Book Offer Emergency Advice For
Those Parents Who Are Out Of Reach Of A Doctor To Have General Advice Than No
Advice At All. An Entire Chapter Has Been Given To The Ever-Increasing Problems
Of Divorce, Single-Parent Families, And The Difficulties Of The Stepparent
Relationship. There Are Expanded Sections On Breast-Feeding, The Working Mother,
Injury Prevention, And For The First Time, Pediatric Dental Health. To Encourage
Healthier Diets, New Information On Nutrition In Infants And Children Has Been
Added. A Glossary Of Medical Terms Has Been Added To Assist Parents In The
Health Care Of Their Children.
