Features: Dear parents, pregnancy, childbirth, and raising children are major events in your lives, and you must be careful not to take them lightly. Many popular beliefs and practices in China about childbirth and child-rearing, which are often regarded as "golden rules," are actually very wrong. Following them may, at the very least, affect the health of both 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 than to teach them what they should do. This book, from the perspective of eugenics and healthy child-rearing, introduces various issues that pregnant women, postpartum women, and mothers should pay attention to and avoid during pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, prenatal care, postpartum recovery, as well as in the process of raising infants and young children. The content is rich and covers all aspects of life, work, behavior, diet, feeding, medical care, and child-rearing.
