Smart Mothering, a revolutionary book that separates the facts from the opinions. Find out what research says about the dilemmas so many parents face: What if I can't breastfeed?

Smart Mothering is objective, accessible and practical. With helpful tips, succinct summaries and clear diagrams it demystifies the often confusing and overwhelming world of parenting. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to make informed decisions about how best to care for their baby.

Would you like to 'speak' to your baby? Are you worried about abnormal bad behaviour? Or surprised by how different your toddler's temperament is to your own? Most of the everyday conflicts that plague families stem simply from a communication gap between parent and child. Famous for her life-changing system of 'baby language', in Child Sense Priscilla Dunstan extends her focus to the first 5 years of life, revealing how best to interpret your child's behaviour and maximise their potential for success and happiness in life. With hands-on experience as a mum, as well as 8 years of practical one-on-one work as a family therapist, Priscilla's revolutionary insight is to identify that each of us is born with one dominant sense mode - seeing, hearing, touching, or tasting and smelling. And that this exercises a profound influence on the way we experience the world and communicate our needs to those around us. Whether you have a visual child, who is always concerned with how things look, or a tactile child, who is physical and practical and responds best to clear, direct suggestions, Priscilla offers invaluable advice about everything from toilet training to temper tantrums, from sleepless nights to problem eating. And she has a repertoire of tips and techniques to help you interpret your little one's behaviour, and adapt your parenting style to suit their temperament. With real-life case studies, checklists and personality quizzes, Child Sense reveals how learning one thing about your child could change both your lives.

Bei Zugrundelegen der bundesdeutschen Perinatalerhebungen sind 1-2% aller Gravidi- taten Hochrisikoschwangerschaften. Sie stellen hoechste Anforderungen an die Geburts- hilfe und an die Neonatologie. Nur die volle Ausnutzung der modernen wissenschaftli- chen Erkenntnisse und die daraus folgende gezielte Einbeziehung bio-physikalischer, bio-chemischer und elektronischer Verfahren in Diagnostik und Therapie macht das fur Mutter und Kind bestehende hohe Risiko kalkulierbar und ermoeglicht optimale peri- neonatologische Resultate. Das vorliegende Werk gibt erstmals im deutschen Schrifttum eine umfassende Darstellung des heutigen perineonatologischen Standortes bei Hochrisikoschwanger- schaften und -geburten. Die Herausgeber stellten sich die Aufgabe, den Stellenwert der diagnostischen und therapeutischen Verfahren bei Risikoschwangerschaften kritisch darzustellen. International hervorragende Geburtshelfer, Neonatologen, Anasthesisten und Epidemiologen aus dem europaischen Raum und den USA machen umfassende Aussagen zu den hauptsachlichen Problemkreisen von Hochrisikoschwangerschaft und -geburt, der Fruh- und Mangelgeburt, dem Gestationsdiabetes, der hamolytischen Fetalerkrankung und der Praeklampsie. Jedem dieser Themen wird eine UEbersicht uber den aktuellen Stand der wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse vorangestellt. Es folgen dann die derzeitigen diagnostischen Verfahren, das perineonatologische Management bei der Geburt einschliesslich der Probleme des Neugeborenentransportes, der Regionalisie- rung der Hochrisikogeburtshilfe, der Qualitatskontrolle und der Perspektiven. Als besonderer Schwerpunkt wird die Langzeitprognose der Neugeborenen aus Hochrisi- koschwangerschaften betrachtet, da der Erfolg allen perineonatologischen Handelns an der Gesundheit der Kinder zu bemessen ist. Herausgeber und Autoren wollen mit diesem Werk die aktuelle gesundheitspolitische Diskussion zur weiteren Senkung der Perinatal- und Sauglingssterblichkeit sowie der Morbiditatsrate anregen.
