The Best Child Health Books
I felt that there was a need for some good child health books, each of which would focus on a specific child health issue, that are frequently faced by the parents. For that, the website was not enough.
Child health is a nagging cause of concern. Daily new issues crop up, which make parents unsure. Some seek medical consultation but often return with a new battery of doubts. How many times can they run to the doctor? How long can a doctor reassure them? Waves of disturbing thoughts continue throughout child development. They search the web for scientific answers to their questions and follow forums on child health.
An endless number of questions pour in at "Ask the Doctor" and "Newborn Care". The same questions are repeated time and again. The result is these child health books. Tell Me the topics you desire. New ones will keep dripping in. I will try my best to write on those.
My Child Health Books:
Jittery Baby:
The Mimics of Fits in Early Infancy
The jitters of having the baby would have hardly subsided when parents notice jitteriness in their newborn baby. Their anxiety shoots up.
Jitteriness, jerky movements and weird grimaces are common in the first 6 months of life. More often than not, they are innocent erratic movements caused by a bumpy relay of signals through an immature nervous system. Nevertheless, mingled among them could be signs of a developmental disorder. That is what creates the worry.
The book is an answer to this bewilderment. It is written by an experienced neonatologist, who has put across this complex medical condition in a simple language. The various mimics of fits in early infancy are unfolded in 28 short chapters and made further easy to understand by 38 illustrations. The meanings of unavoidable medical terms are given in Glossary.
