About the book: 1992 / The author of the book is a famous American pediatrician and public figure, a fighter for peace and disarmament. In his book, addressed to parents, Dr. Spock talks about how to raise a child starting from the day of birth, how to ensure that children grow up healthy, what to do if a child gets sick. OPINION OF A PEDIATRIC: Benjamin Spock’s book was written more than half a century ago (1946 ). Much of the medical information presented in it is very fragmentary or naive for modern conditions. Therefore, every family should have at least two reference books, preferably the latest editions: 1. Mashkovsky M.D., “Medicines” in 2 parts (this reference book is constantly updated and supplemented - the 15th edition has already been published).2. "Paramedic's Handbook" (for practical purposes it is much more complete and convenient than the "Practitioner's Handbook"»).
