Calm Parents, Healthy Baby. On Sleep, Nutrition, Illnesses, and Other Important Topics from the Perspective of Evidence-Based Medicine

Worrying for offspring is an integral part of parenthood, an evolutionary mechanism that has allowed us—humanity—to survive: we care for our babies, procure food for them, give them the best we have, and expend a lot of energy to provide warmth and safety. In the modern world with all its benefits, this same worry sometimes pushes us to extremes—we want to lay straws everywhere: undergo more tests, visit more doctors, treat for every possibility... The goal of this book is to provide verified information, without judgments or hysteria. Facts, the knowledge of which will help make balanced decisions regarding your child's health, and thus significantly reduce the level of anxiety.
