Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book comprehends the fundamental principles of infant hygiene and the illnesses that can befall children, especially in their first five years of life. The author, a physician with considerable experience, warns that nearly fifty percent of infant deaths can be traced back to ignorance or neglect of their caregivers concerning basic hygiene. Most of these preventable deaths are attributed to an excess of nutritional disorders. The first part of the book focuses on cleanliness and appropriate attire, arguing that children are particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of overbathing and should be kept warm to avoid catarrhal issues like bronchitis. He also discusses concerns with the type of clothing used and the appropriate amount of coverage for an infant. The second chapter addresses the best ways to position a child's body, providing evidence to dispute the prevailing belief that infants must sleep on their backs. The final chapter deals with infant diet, urging readers to avoid overfeeding and to desist from feeding babies at night. He emphasizes that breast milk is the ideal food for infants and that cow's milk must be specially prepared before feeding it to an infant. The book concludes by stating that the principles outlined are the 'key to physical well being' and will reduce infantile suffering, encouraging parents to incorporate these practices into their routines.
