Every expectant mother, be it her first or her fifth child, will want to read this book. It is an invaluable guide - in innumerable ways unlike any other book - which covers the subject of motherhood (even “before conception”) and child care through the pre-school age. In this book a woman will find advice on how to prevent and overcome “morning sickness.” leg cramps, and fatigue; what to do about weight control, and many other complications of pregnancy. Equally useful information will be found in the chapters devoted to raising a healthy baby. With new emphasis by doctors on the advantages of breast-feeding, the methods outlined will be extremely helpful to mothers who wish to nurse their babies.
