Planning for a healthy baby - Belinda Barnes|Suzanne Gail Bradley|Foresight

Babies are meant to be born whole and healthy; sadly, too many are not. This book shows prospective parents how, with the help of proven guidelines, they can start planning for a healthy baby - even before conception.;The guidelines developed by Foresight, the Association for Preconceptual Care, have been used by thousands of parents, many with a history of miscarriages or stillbirths, to conceive and give birth successfully to beautiful, whole, healthy babies. Foresight's simple-to-follow programme has identified many of the factors that can damage the unborn and shows how, with a practical system of healthcare, many of these can be avoided. The book includes advice on nutrition, family planning, toxic substances to avoid, and common illnesses and diseases that can affect the unborn child. Now fully revised and updated to take account of changes in medical practice and knowledge of issues such as listeria, pre-natal testing and more, "Planning for a Healthy Baby" is aimed at every prospective parent, whether or not they have experienced problems before.
