Features: Parenting is an arduous task, involving almost every aspect of daily life, from childcare, feeding, nursing, health care, entertainment, education, and training. The content of this book focuses on nurturing, nursing, health care, and common knowledge, akin to parenting tips. It includes both hard tips, such as "What to do if a fish bone gets stuck in a child's throat," and soft tips, such as "Why some children lie." However, life is not always filled with clever tricks or an abundance of tips. When there are tricks, use them; but more often, there are straightforward, hard-and-fast principles that require people to be honest, scientific, and follow the rules. Thus, many of the tips are about physiological and nursing knowledge for infants and young children. While they may seem like common sense, misunderstandings or misjudgments can lead to trouble or even serious mistakes, such as the "milk teeth" phenomenon in 90% of newborns shortly after birth. This condition usually causes no discomfort, and the baby can continue to breastfeed. Occasionally, if the white pearls are hard and irritate the mucous membrane, causing itching, the baby may bite the nipple. This generally resolves naturally within 2–3 weeks after birth. However, some parents, unfamiliar with it and impatient, may pick or wipe it with a cloth. As a result, due to the delicate and weak oral mucosa of infants, they are prone to infection after abrasion, leading to the opposite of the desired outcome. In severe cases, it may even cause sepsis. In fact, the cause of "milk teeth" is very simple: it is due to the accumulation of epithelial cells and the blockage of mucous glands, leading to swelling. It will gradually absorb or resolve naturally, generally not affecting the child's health, and parents need not worry. As such, it can also be considered a tip. This is the reason for the title of this parenting knowledge book.
