Amazon.com Traditionally, new parents buy a pregnancy-and-childbirth book, another for baby care, and a third for advice on the problems that arise during the toddler and preschool years. The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia guide covers all of these stages, making it at least three books in one. Despite tackling the intense period of development from before birth through age 5 in little more than 600 pages, senior editor Patrick S. Pasquariello--director of the hospital's Diagnostic Center and professor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine--does not skimp on information. He touches upon an extraordinary number of subjects in each of these stages. For instance, under the heading "Other Tests During Pregnancy," in addition to the expected ultrasound and amniocentesis sections, there's a paragraph addressing in utero surgery--a specialty of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Pasquariello gives space to the usual bottle-vs.-breastfeeding debate, but also includes a wonderful 25-page section on babies who need special care. Because it is so comprehensive in scope, this book does not attain a high level of detail on each subject. But parents frustrated by the way many guides shy away from using medical terms and stop short of giving real medical information will be relieved to find that this book explains things simply, but doesn't talk down or sidestep by referring them to their ob-gyn or pediatrician. --Kimberly Heinrichs From Kirkus Reviews From pre-conception through the first five years of life, a comprehensive, if medically oriented guide for parents to growth, development, and myriad problems that can arise with children. Pediatrician Pasquariello (who is director of the Diagnostic Center at the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia and teaches at Univ. of Pennsylvania School of Medicine) starts out with ``Before Pregnancy Begins'': what he terms ``preconceptual care'' is vital because a baby's first 12 weeks in the womb are critical to future health, and women may not immediately know that they're pregnant. Especially important at this stage are environmental concerns, and genetic counseling. Pasquariello moves through the rest of pregnancy to labor and delivery (including how to choose appropriate medical care); he discusses the possible contributions of acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and aromatherapy, among other alternatives. Once the baby arrives, he offers advice on feeding, sleep, wakefulness, crying, language, play, early education, toilet training, relationships, common health problems, and serious illnesses. Throughout, this guide has a stronger medical viewpoint than many recent parenting guides, and readers who run into such tragedies mentioned here as stillbirth or serious disabilities will do better with guides devoted to those single issues. Those looking for a traditional medical overview covering a vast range of subjects will find a sound reference here; otherwise, this is most useful as a general starting point for further reading.

这本厚重的指南,光是翻开扉页就能感受到那种沉甸甸的责任感和知识的重量。我首先被它排版上的清晰度所吸引,尽管内容浩如烟海,但每一章的划分都极其逻辑化,索引做得非常详尽,这对于需要快速查阅特定信息的准父母来说,简直是救命稻草。我尤其欣赏它对孕期各个阶段的生理和心理变化的细致描述,它不像有些书那样只停留在“需要补充叶酸”的表面,而是深入探讨了荷尔蒙波动如何影响情绪,以及如何科学地应对孕吐的“高频模式”。书中对分娩过程的描述,从阵痛的强度变化到呼吸技巧的运用,几乎是现场教学般的详尽,配图也非常写实,避免了过度美化或恐怖化,提供了一种“知己知彼”的掌控感。此外,它在“孕期营养”这部分,不仅仅是罗列食物清单,更结合了美国医学界的最新研究,比如针对特定族裔或有既往病史的孕妇的定制化建议,这显示出它背后强大的专业支持系统。我发现自己经常在某一个周末的下午,泡一杯茶,然后沉浸在其中关于胎儿听觉发育和早期语言刺激的章节里,那种充满期待和学习的乐趣,是无法替代的。
评分初为人父母的焦虑,常常像夏日午后的雷阵雨,来得突然又猛烈。这本书最打动我的地方,在于它对“育儿焦虑”的精准对焦和系统性疏导。它并没有给我灌输“完美父母”的虚假口号,反而非常坦诚地讨论了新手父母可能面临的失眠、产后抑郁的早期信号,以及如何识别婴儿啼哭背后的不同需求——是饥饿、是湿尿布,还是单纯的需要依偎。我记得有一次宝宝突然夜哭不止,我翻遍了所有APP和论坛都找不到答案,最后翻到这本书里关于“肠绞痛高峰期管理”的那一节,里面提供的几个安抚手法,尤其是“飞机抱”的精确操作图解,竟然奇迹般地奏效了。这让我意识到,这本书的价值远超知识的堆砌,它更像是一个随时待命的、经验丰富的育儿顾问。它对不同年龄段的宝宝的“发展里程碑”设定了一个合理的区间,而不是死板的日期,这极大地缓解了我总拿自家孩子和“标准”对比的压力,让我更专注于观察和理解我的孩子本身。
评分如果你期待的是那种充满可爱卡通形象和简单口号的“读物”,那么这本书可能会让你稍微“失望”,因为它本质上是一部严谨的参考手册,但这种“不妥协的专业性”恰恰是它的核心竞争力。它的语言风格非常直接,带着一种医学界的严谨和准确性,尤其在处理“常见儿童疾病的家庭初步处理”这一块,界限划分得极其清晰:什么情况可以观察等待,什么情况必须立刻就医,提供了非常实用的“红旗信号”清单。我曾因为孩子偶发的高烧不知所措,书里关于退烧药剂量计算的表格和体温波动的图示,帮我冷静地做出了正确的判断,避免了不必要的恐慌和过度用药。而且,这本书对“疫苗接种时间表”的解释非常到位,它不仅列出了时间,还解释了每种疫苗背后的作用原理和潜在的轻微副作用,让你能够基于科学认知,而非道听途说来做决定,这种赋权感非常重要。
评分从这本书的布局来看,它显然是为那些愿意投入时间进行深度学习的父母准备的。它不是那种翻两页就合上的消遣读物,而是需要你在孕期和育儿的每个阶段,不断地回溯和印证的工具书。我特别欣赏它在“亲子沟通与情感教育”章节的深度挖掘。它没有简单地教你如何“管教”孩子,而是深入探讨了儿童心理学中的“依恋理论”,并提供了一系列实践性的对话脚本,教你如何在孩子表达负面情绪时,不打断、不评判地进行有效回应。我试着用书里教的方法和我的大宝沟通关于分享玩具的冲突,效果立竿见影,那不是强迫服从,而是一种内在理解的建立。这种对孩子“内在世界”的尊重和引导,是很多育儿书中常常被简化处理的部分,而这本书却给予了足够的篇幅和学术支撑。
评分我买过很多育儿书籍,但大多数在孩子进入学步期后就开始显得力不从心。这本指南的持久生命力在于其对“过渡期”处理的全面性。当孩子开始探索世界,危险系数直线上升时,书中关于“家庭安全环境设置”的章节简直是逐条排雷指南,从插座保护到家具固定,细致到连厨房清洁剂的存放高度都有明确建议。更让我感到贴心的是,它还探讨了如何平衡“保护欲”和“探索欲”,提供了很多鼓励孩子独立完成任务(比如自己穿鞋、整理玩具)的循序渐进的步骤,避免了父母“代劳”的陷阱。这本书的编辑和作者团队显然深谙现代家庭的实际挑战,比如如何平衡工作与育儿,如何在有限的空间内创造高质量的亲子时间。它更像是一份陪伴你走过孩子前五年,并且随时可以拿出参考的“育儿宪法”,其厚度与其承载的、跨越多个领域的实用知识是完全成正比的。
