Features: "Mommy Doctor" will teach you step by step. When your baby should see a doctor; when you can handle it at home, how to handle it, and even what to prepare before going to the doctor, whether to go immediately or wait and see, what to pay attention to after coming back from the hospital, and how to care for your child. This book is for the era when poor nutritional and social hygiene conditions in children led to many children losing their lives to infectious diseases. Even today, the nutritional and social hygiene conditions of children in some countries still need improvement. However, in Japan and China after the reform and opening-up, the nutritional status of children has greatly improved, and widespread vaccination has been achieved, bringing most infectious diseases under control. Some doctors even believe that occasional colds in children are beneficial for boosting immunity. Only after getting sick do people truly understand the importance of health. At the same time, they also deeply understand the patient's mindset, so being sick doesn't necessarily have to be all bad.
