Download or read book Common Sense Pediatrics for Parents written by Daniel J. O'Hern Faap and published by . This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common Sense Pediatrics for Parents represents my thirty years of experience in Pediatrics and was written for the lay person who is either having a child or who has young children and is looking for a guide on what to expect from birth to adolescence. It is filled with information about what to expect in the hospital and how to approach the most common situations that occur in childhood. I have been looking for a good, simple book to recommend to parents to guide them through this and have not found one I could recommend, so hopefully Common Sense Pediatrics for Parents will be it. This is not to be a substitute for your own physician and not everyone will agree with everything but it does dispel many of the myths, and wives tales out there. I went home many nights hoarse from explaining and instructing to my patients and Common Sense Pediatrics for Parents is just a written expression of what I said. I hope it helps those out there that want to instruct themselves on common Pediatric conditions and at least my approach to dealing with them.

Book excerpt: Written during award-winning pediatrician Dr. Scott W. Cohen’s first year as a father, this book is the only one to combine two invaluable “on the job” perspectives—the doctor’s and the new parent’s. The result is a refreshingly engaging and informative guide that includes all you need to know at each age and stage of your child’s first year. Drawing on the latest medical recommendations and his experiences at home and in the office, Dr. Cohen covers everything from preparing for your baby’s arrival to introducing her to a new sibling, to those three basic functions that will come to dominate a new parent’s life. Eat, Sleep, Poop addresses questions, strategies, myths, and all aspects of your child’s development. In each instance, Dr. Cohen provides a thorough overview and a simple answer or explanation: a “common sense bottom line,” yet he doesn’t dictate. The emphasis is on doing what is medically sound and what works best for you and your baby. He also includes fact sheets, easy-to-follow diagnosis and treatment guides, and humorous daddy vs. doctor sidebars that reveal the learning curve during his fi rst year as a dad. Lively, practical, and reassuring, Eat, Sleep, Poop provides the knowledge you need to parent with confidence, to relax and enjoy baby’s fi rst year, and to raise your child with the best tool a parent can have: informed common sense.

Would you and your baby both sleep better if you shared a bed? How old is too old for breastfeeding? What is a father's role in nurturing a newborn?

Download or read book Common Sense Care written by Vincent D'Amore and published by Eloquent Books. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emergency room physician Vincent D'Amore has found that one of the biggest stressors for parents of sick children during ER visits is their lack of clinical knowledge. Doctors do not expect parents to walk in the door with medical school training. However, it is helpful that they have a core understanding of common disease processes and courses of action. When parents don't know the right questions to ask about their child's care, some physicians tend to practice on autopilot, doing as they were taught, regardless of the current science behind their actions.Common Sense Care is a comprehensive, yet easy-to-follow guidebook that will help parents better understand their ER doctor's clinical decisions. Dr. D'Amore utilizes the most up-to-date science and clinical information to address the most common pediatric complaints and teaches parents what to look for during their child's treatment.As a former grade school teacher, Dr. D'Amore is able to make complicated scientific concepts understandable to laypersons. The information presented in this book will enable parents to better advocate for their children regarding tests and treatments that are often needlessly performed, and ideally will prevent many ER visits in the first place. While written for parents, this guide should be requisite for all health care providers.Author Bio: Author Vincent D'Amore, M.D., is a board-certified, practicing emergency medicine physician. He wrote Common Sense Care as a response to the need he observes daily and believes all parents should have this information. The author lives on Long Island, New York.

Download or read book Commonsense Paediatrics written by M. Pollak and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As 'seasoned campaigners' we offer our readers more than 60 joint practice years of commonsense experience on children and their prob lems. Child care is a large and fascinating part of general family practice. More than any other discipline it is a mix of understanding the wide range of normal and abnormal development, of skilful diagnosis and treatment of treatable conditions, of long-term care for handicapped children, and of organizing and carrying out prevention. F or all this and more the physician has to rely on sound knowledge and understanding of the child, parents, family, social and community conditions, available services and the likely natural history of the condition - and to dispense all this with humanity, sense and sensi bility. We have divided the book logically into 6 sections: (I) Factual background. (2) Universal problems of behaviour and development. (3) Common clinical disorders, so frequent and yet often so dif ficult to manage. (4) Social,family and community factors that create and influ ence many problems of childhood. (5) How to use available services and resources with discrimina tion and sensitivity. (6) The importance of understanding and managing the whole child. We have no single group of readers in mind. We hope that our views will be appreciated, for example, by parents, nurses, health visitors, general practitioners, community physicians and paedia tricians - in fact all who care for children.
