A small but very important preface

... and when they asked to bring the most beautiful thing that exists in the whole wide world, the crow brought her child ...

Parable

Almost no one ever reads popular science literature from beginning to end - like a novel. With regard to books with information about children, problems and illnesses, this is especially true. Why read about the rules of nutrition for a pregnant woman when the child is constipated? We open the chapter on constipation, get the necessary information and with a feeling of deep satisfaction we try to put the advice and recommendations into practice.

The author, of course, really wants you to read everything in order. But, since the hopes for this are low, in order to prevent subsequent misunderstandings, I will allow myself a brief instruction-information for those who are ready to start reading (options - viewing, flipping, studying).

1 The book consists of three main parts:

Part one is devoted to the two most important stages in the life of a child and his parents - pregnancy and the first year of life.

Part two - a child older than a year, of course, not on its own, but in conjunction with dad-mom, grandparents, kindergarten schools, the environment and the healthcare system.

Part three - diseases, hospitals, doctors, medicines; what to do and what not to do.

2 Everything that you read should be considered, first of all, as food for thought. Not a single living soul in the whole wide world can love your child and understand your child the way you do. It is a completely different matter that, understanding, loving, and even at the same time thinking, reflecting, thinking, and so, under all these conditions, it is by no means always possible to achieve success.

3 Success in relation to the process of care and upbringing is a relative concept: depending on which bell tower you look from. From the teacher's point of view, the polite winner of the city Physics and Mathematics Olympiad, who does not get out of hospitals, is an undoubted success. An absolutely healthy juvenile bandit (if he is washed and forbidden to talk) will please the pediatrician with excellent work of internal organs and excellent analyzes.

4 The golden mean is a simultaneous and plentiful balm for the soul of relatives, doctors and teachers - this is a smart, well-mannered and healthy child. This phenomenon is extremely rare, but when implementing some kind of care and upbringing program, we should at least know what to strive for.

5 The actual level of health or ill health of a particular child depends on four factors:

Heredity, that is, what was inherited from mom and dad;

Environment (ecology + living conditions);

health systems;

The process of care and upbringing, that is, the relationship of the child and his relatives.

6 The aforementioned care and upbringing are some very specific actions, a certain set of measures. But the main paradox is this: 100% of the adult population knows how to make children, but 99.9% do not know what to do with children afterwards.

7 The main task of this book is to eliminate the paradox of the situation, in an accessible form to provide the reader with the opportunity to determine for himself what should be done with the child and what should never be done.

Acquaintance

The greater or lesser degree of respect given to the author depends on the greater or lesser similarity of his ideas with those of the reader.

Helvetius

The author is not a professor or even an assistant professor, but simply a pediatrician - the most ordinary one, who graduated from an ordinary medical institute. And this book was written for ordinary people, living an ordinary human life. What in theory creates conditions for future mutual understanding.

The author addresses this book to parents - those who have already become parents, and especially those who are just about to become parents. This is not a textbook, not a collection of recipes and instructions, not an encyclopedia and, God forbid, not a guide to diagnosis and treatment!

Most likely, this is a medium-sized guidebook that should help you avoid many problems.

The main thing- a little bit of common sense, a little bit of logical thinking - and we will agree on everything.

There are a lot of works on a similar topic all over the world. It is not surprising that, having spent money on acquiring another “labor”, future or already established dad and mom want to find out first of all what are the features of this work and are there any at all.

There are three such features:

First Feature - the ability to implement recommendations. After all, hundreds of books on childcare and parenting are written in such a way that the very process of communicating with a child is perceived in isolation from real life. Such “little things” as a hungry dad who came home from work, shops and clinics, disappeared hot water, a broken iron, a particularly wise mother-in-law, another pregnancy, layoffs, the number of days before salary, etc. are not taken into account.

Second feature consists in the fact that, having a higher medical education, the author himself does not always and does not understand everything in smart works designed for a “wide readership”. Therefore, he tried very, very hard to make the book as accessible as possible, but not primitive.

Third feature , perhaps the main one - I'm not just saying "do it" - I'm trying to convince you that this is how it should be done.

It should be noted that modern parents rarely take on the entire burden of responsibility for the health of the child. Allegedly, the state approach to this issue is that the district doctor is allegedly responsible for the health of the child “in general”. But the answers to most "children's questions" are given at family councils, where mom and dad - as the least experienced persons - play an insignificant role. On the one hand, this is quite understandable. On the other hand, it is mom and dad who always turn out to be “extreme” if the child is sick or misbehaves. At this point, relatives, acquaintances and, of course, grandparents will not fail to notice that it was necessary to obey the elders.

In connection with the above, Paying attention moms and dads for the following moments:

looking around, you can easily see that neither you nor your friends are distinguished by iron health. Therefore, the phrase uttered by the mother-in-law or mother-in-law: “I raised three” is not any weighty argument;

Whatever friends, relatives and acquaintances advise you, remember the main thing: you and only you will not sleep at night, run around pharmacies and hospitals!

You know very well that it is much more difficult to remake (re-educate, re-educate) than to do the right thing from the very beginning. Therefore, do not bring your child to a state where only the most drastic measures will allow you to overcome the difficulties that have arisen. It’s better to choose the right direction from birth: it’s easier, cheaper, and more pleasant;

if it didn’t work out from birth - they didn’t know or thought they knew, didn’t want to, didn’t understand - remember: it’s never too late to take up your mind, but the sooner, the easier it is.

*** * ***

The health of our children in most cases does not suit either parents or pediatricians. And this is doubly unpleasant, given that in terms of the number of children's doctors, we have left far behind not only Bangladesh, but also the United States of America.

The conclusion is simple: neither the quantity nor the quality of pediatricians can solve the problem of children's health. But it’s impossible, most likely, because the mentioned health is much more dependent on mom and dad than on all pediatricians combined. In other words, parents can well make sure that their child gets sick a little, and if it does get sick, then it has the opportunity to resist illness and recover with minimal losses.

This is where the role of the pediatrician becomes clear, which must be strived for always, everywhere and under any circumstances - the role of a consultant. And in this role a pediatrician is needed not so much for the child as for the parents of the child!

In this book, we will try to help mom and dad learn the main principles of care and upbringing, the main rules for helping with illnesses. But you will have to put them into practice yourself - there is no one to wait for help here. True, the principles of the author and the life position of the parents may not coincide, therefore, in order to be frank to the end, I report the following:

the author is a categorical and consistent opponent of pediatric and pedagogical extremism in all its manifestations. Therefore, any attempts to find recipes in this book about how to bathe newborns in the hole or take three-month-old children to the mountains, how to bury urine in the nose or teach a one-year-old child to read, a two-year-old child to play chess, and a three-year-old child to cook for future family life;

the author is convinced that the birth and upbringing of children is not the main and only purpose of a person. Both birth and upbringing represent only one (perhaps the largest and most important) side of the polyhedron, which under no circumstances should overlap its other sides - love, friendships, work, books, pets, hobbies (knitting, fishing, new hairstyle, car, garden);

no one, nothing and will ever be able to shake the author's confidence that a happy child is, first of all, a healthy child and only then can he read and play the violin. A happy child is a child who has both a mother and a father who find time not only to love this child, but also to love each other.

That, in fact, is all. If it suits you - read on, no - sorry ...

Most likely, this is a medium-sized guidebook that should help you avoid many problems.

The main thing- a little bit of common sense, a little bit of logical thinking - and we will agree on everything.

Hello dear readers! Today I will simply share my position in relation to the work of Evgeny Komarovsky. I will do this based on his book, but also take into account the numerous videos that you can easily find on the Internet.

I have mixed feelings about this doctor. Someone idolizes him. Someone speaks of him with contempt ... Personally, I really respect the work of this man. He did the almost impossible. In fact, he helped in the 90s to take the first step towards conscious parenthood. Many of his ideas seem revolutionary, liberal. However, what was a brilliant breakthrough twenty years ago may not seem entirely relevant today.

Each mother must decide for herself: who does she trust? Whose advice will he follow? Advice from a local pediatrician? Doctor Komarovsky? Homeopath? Or a lactation consultant? For some, Komarovsky is an ideal option. A compromise between the ideas of natural parenthood and the opinion of the Soviet generation.

For me personally, the work of this doctor is not authoritative now. Below I will explain why. I often embed his videos on the site where he is close to natural parenthood. And deliberately ignoring the video with which I myself disagree.

The fact is that E. Komarovsky knows how to present the material very beautifully and clearly, sometimes he is perceived not as a doctor, but as a person from show business. It logically and visually explains many simple things. But it does not take into account the psychology of the baby at all. I do not blame anyone for this, he has already made a breakthrough in the understanding of childhood diseases. But you want to give your children the very best, right?

The benefits of the book by E. Komarovsky

I strongly recommend that all my readers read the book The Health of the Child and the Common Sense of His Relatives. This book is unique. It explains simple medical things in detail and clearly. What is the flu? What causes pneumonia? What is a runny nose? And how to treat the main childhood diseases? How to understand that the situation is serious and you need to urgently call an ambulance?

For example, the doctor says that the only cure for most flu viruses is fresh air and plenty of fluids. That most pills are useless or even harmful. Tells about some infections. And it gives a lot of useful information.

The doctor requires that a special temperature regime be observed in the apartment. The air should not heat up to 22 degrees. The ideal temperature is between 18 and 20 degrees. I put it into practice. To be honest, after such a bath, children still do not sleep for 5 hours in a row (as Komarovsky promises), but this significantly strengthened their immunity.

Where do I disagree with his books?

However, there are a number of points that I do not accept. The main point - it seems that the doctor sincerely believes that the child needs only food, sleep and the right external conditions. That the need for frequent contact with mom is just “pampering”. What if a child cries, then either something hurts him, or he manipulates his parents. That is, the doctor does not recognize the baby's need for maternal warmth and constant contact with his mother.

That is why Komarovsky is against:

breastfeeding on demand;

And in general, in everything related to education, I would recommend reading other literature.

The main slogan of the doctor is "Mom should not be tired, sleepy, exhausted." Good slogan, I support it. Only for some reason the doctor offers strange means on the way to this goal. Maybe because he sees the situation from the male side?

Instead of teaching how to organize co-sleeping so that everyone is happy, we hear about a separate bed. But is it really possible to get enough sleep if you need to get up regularly at night and go to the child?

Instead of teaching how to rest while breastfeeding and combine this with household chores, the doctor teaches that it is necessary to limit the baby's stay on the chest. But doesn't that make mom's life harder?

Yes, it can be difficult to carry. But will the mother be fresh and rested if the baby is constantly crying? And how will “weaning from hands” affect him? Isn't it better to teach mom how to use and correctly alternate the load on the back with rest?

findings

If you adhere to the views of Dr. Komarovsky in everything, I am very happy for you! In any case, this is much better than doing much of what is recommended in the city clinic. And in any case, Dr. Komarovsky appeals to our mind, gives us the opportunity to become wiser and more conscious. And calmer - which is very, very important.

For many parents, this doctor's book will be a real discovery. It really instills calmness and confidence, teaches not to panic and not to complicate your life.

But if you want to go further and get in touch with your baby, understand his needs, and not just physical health... This book will not be enough. Therefore, it is not necessary to consider it the ultimate truth. Read, listen, study as much as possible ... This is the only way to form your own opinion about raising children and understand what is closer to you.

1.1. Pregnancy

How much we suffered because of what did not happen, but could only happen.

Thomas Jefferson

Man is the King of Nature, but at the same time he is a part of it. The part that violated the Main Law of the Jungle and rose above all the rest, while creating a lot of trouble for itself and everyone left below. These troubles are based on constant and, unfortunately, not at all fruitless attempts to fight the laws of Nature. Who will undertake to assert that man as a biological species was created incorrectly? None! Consequently, the hereditary information transmitted from generation to generation is quite good, and Nature is trying by all means to get rid of the deviations that arise on its own, despite the active opposition of modern medicine to it.

A human cub that was born already owns a set of hereditary (genetic) traits, which is called genotype. But the born owner of the genotype does not have the opportunity to independently manage his wealth. Under the influence of the environment, the genotype is transformed into phenotype- a well-defined set of external signs.

1 habitat (climate, city, village, a factory nearby or, conversely, a pine forest, basement, tenth floor, dust, chemistry, radiation, etc.);

2 parents , more precisely, on the conditions that they will create for their child.

With the environment - that's how lucky anyone is. And parents - this, by the way, we are with you.

The essence of the above reasoning is obvious: from the point of view of Nature (genotype), the health of a born child differs very little from the health of his predecessor, who was born 20 or 30 thousand years ago and did not know what steam heating, adapted milk mixture, sterile nipple, boiled water and much, much more, but at the same time, managed not only to survive, but also to give birth. And by the way, we are this very offspring. And our main task is not to allow the child to lose the health that Nature has already awarded him.

It is necessary to start solving the task as early as possible - it is best already during pregnancy.

*** * ***

It follows that all other signs - the absence of menstruation and, on the contrary, the presence of vomiting, nausea and rapidly changing views on the surrounding reality - are just a consequence of one of the most interesting, significant and widespread manifestations of human existence, namely - sexual life.

The likelihood that this book will fall into the hands of a person who is not familiar with what causes pregnancy and how it manifests itself is very small. Well, as soon as we agreed before, we will agree: if there are doubts (suspicions), you should consult a doctor who, by answering such questions, earns his living and is called a gynecologist.

We do not aim to discuss the causes of pregnancy (when, after what, why, from whom, etc.). Both the author and readers are, of course, interested in pregnancy, but, first of all, from the perspective of a child - how a future mother should live in order to give birth later and at the same time minimize the need for a pediatrician.

The order in which one and the same person is entrusted with the supervision of a pregnant woman, delivery and subsequent supervision of a child, unfortunately, is not accepted at all. And there is nothing good in this. Because the points of view of a gynecologist and a pediatrician quite often do not coincide: what is good for the mother (and the gynecologist) is not always good for the child (and the pediatrician).

So, the most ordinary woman who has reached childbearing age decided not to miss this age. This most ordinary woman is prepared by Nature for childbearing and childbirth.

And Nature, and human nature, and the laws of logic, and indeed elementary common sense, are not able to explain why a pregnant woman should not get tired, sleep more, not lift more than one kilogram, etc. After all, this same woman several thousand years ago in in a similar situation, she would continue to live according to the laws of the tribe - well, who would stop cooking food or moving after the deer just because someone’s stomach interferes there or, you see, he is sick ... And you need to think for yourself. Imagine your husband as a large shaggy and not smelling too good male, and yourself as a preoccupied “interesting position” female, who simply has to, during pregnancy, firstly, prevent this male from crossing over to another, and secondly, maintain optimism and, why be modest, beauty.

The most important rule is

PREGNANCY IS NOT A DISEASE!

However, very, very many women view this condition in this way. In many ways, gynecologists help them - rarely does a visit to the doctor end with discussions about a narrow pelvis, a crooked uterus, inflammation of the appendages, and in general: how did you, girl, manage to ... And even your friends will talk about the hellish torments of the maternity hospital. Again, you have to pass many, many tests and bypass many, many specialists. I can assure you with an oath that I have never met a person who visited a large number of doctors, passed a large number of tests and did not find any ailment dormant in him. Moreover, it is customary for us to run to the doctors after the pregnancy has become a fait accompli, and not before ...

By the way, the very fact of pregnancy in most cases gives rise to many other problems - sexual, material, and finally, housing.

And there is nothing strange in the fact that stress is a surprisingly frequent companion of pregnancy. After all, it is very difficult to resist the abundant influx of negative information. To do this, you need to have very, very strong brains or not have them at all. Both are rare, so it is desirable to remember:

you must first of all listen to yourself - move if you want to move, sleep if you want to sleep, eat if you want to eat, and make love to your husband if you want to make love;

if you want a child and at the same time already pregnant, then no diseases discovered by doctors should cause you despair. State in the depths of your soul the fact that you had to wave your hands before, but do not try to save yourself, because it is difficult to find methods of treatment that are simultaneously useful for both the child and the mother;

any treatment of a pregnant woman should be carried out only when otherwise definitely can not be dispensed with (bleeding, a clear threat of failure, nephropathy, diagnosed diabetes mellitus, rheumatism or other passions).

You live in a country where the number of checkers and those who teach how to heal is almost equal to the number of those who actually heal. The one who treats knows perfectly well that no one will scold him for prescribing 10 medicines for a cold - after all, at least a Ph.D. thesis has been defended for each of these 10 medicines. Pregnancy is always a risk. An obvious risk for the pregnant woman herself and no less obvious risk for the doctor, who, given the assessment of his work by society, is not going to take risks. And you need to have a lot of courage not to prescribe, not to send for a consultation, not to put you in a hospital, not to start stimulating, not to prohibit. It is necessary to break away from the papers and find time to calmly talk, explain and, in the end, consciously split the risk in half. But after all, they check the doctor not according to the reviews of patients, but according to the quality of the “documents” written by him! And as soon as any diagnosis is recorded on the card, then it is necessary to treat it: what if there is some kind of trouble, then teachers and inspectors will ask in all severity: how did you, my friend, not appoint? And indeed sometimes troubles happen - one out of 100, but they appoint everyone - just in case. Help the doctor to be honest and frank with you - do not demand unique medicines from him and your immediate salvation, do not shout: “We are ready for anything!”, find out after all, what will happen if you do nothing, and what is more dangerous - to treat or no treatment. I, for obvious reasons, do not name specific diseases, that is not the point. Just a pregnant woman should try to look at herself through the eyes of the doctor to whom she came. She must understand what any doctor understands: pregnancy is a normal physiological process, and the less we interfere with normal physiological processes, the better for all of us!

What if it's not quite normal? So you need to think about whether we are so wise to interfere with Mother Nature if she stumbled a little. And if it’s not at all normal, then get treated, but at the same time remember the wonderful aphorism that was born among practicing doctors: “What is rare is very rare; what happens very rarely, never happens.

1.1.1. When is the best time to get pregnant?

Unfortunately, pregnancy planning is not yet a universal rule. But if your family in its evolution has reached the point that, firstly, it can afford pregnancy at a certain moment, and secondly, it can make this pregnancy a real fact, then you should know: the higher at the time of conception the level of health of the future father and mother, the healthier the child will be.

Therefore, it is desirable before that:

Check the state of your health and, if necessary, heal;

If possible, refuse to take any medications; the only exception is to drink folic acid (it would be good for a month before conception). Folic acid (vitamin B 9) has a preventive effect on many malformations of the unborn child - especially for malfunctions in the development of the nervous system;

Have a good rest (optimally - spend a vacation not on the couch, but in nature);

“tie up” with various hazards (smoking, drinking strong drinks, watching TV);

Limit contact with household and garden chemicals as much as possible;

Slightly limit sexual activity.

Many people care about the time of year, month, day and even a specific hour. As for the day and hour, I can’t say anything (it’s better to find out from astrologers), but with regard to the time of year, I’ll note the following. The maximum level of health of a particular person falls on autumn (September-October): a sufficient amount of fresh vegetables and fruits, summer rest (sun, air, water, physical activity). On the other hand, it is very good when a child is born in the fall: it is easier to organize hardening, winter is ahead (it will be more difficult to overheat). Again, it’s very good when the first half of a child’s life falls on the winter months - the immunity inherited from the mother to many viruses is still valid, therefore, the likelihood of getting sick is noticeably less.

The logic, most likely, is that in the absence of serious health problems for future parents, conception should be planned for January-February in order to give birth in the fall. Well, if health is not in order - "make" a child in the fall.

A special issue is the age of the expectant mother. It is clear that at 18 you will be healthier than at 35. But the main thing is that you give birth to a child for yourself, and not as a gift to grandparents. Therefore, it is better to be a mother at 30 than a cuckoo at 18.
