Features: Dear parents, pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing are major events in your lives. It is crucial not to be careless about them. Many popular beliefs and practices about having children in China, which are regarded as "golden rules," are actually very wrong. Following them can, at the very least, affect the health of the mother and the baby, and at the worst, bring lifelong regrets to the family. In a sense, it is more realistic and necessary to educate soon-to-be parents and new parents about what they should not do rather than teaching them what they should do. This book, from the perspective of eugenics, introduces various issues that pregnant women, (postpartum women), and mothers should pay attention to and avoid during pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, prenatal care, postpartum care, as well as when raising infants and young children. The content is rich and covers aspects of life, work, behavior, diet, feeding, medical care, and parenting.
