Description
From an award-winning, three-time author—and a mother—Baby Poop brings the hard-to-find facts that equip parents to help their babies be happier and healthier, head off the occasional dire situation, and to optimize their child’s lifelong health.
Baby Poop is about child health dilemmas faced in industrialized nations. These are distinctly different from the challenges in less developed countries, as most of these challenges are caused directly by modernization. Infectious disease rates are high in many less developed parts of the world, with high infant and child mortality rates—but industrialization, medicine, and money are not the end-all answers to optimal child survival. Baby Poop illuminates how a much larger portion of children in developed nations suffer from colic, reflux, food allergies, asthma, autism, and diabetes than those in the developing world—and how modern practices are encouraging these.

A must-have guide for looking at your child's, well... poop! Before you run away thinking I'm crazy, just hear me and Dr. Palmer out. Our babies aren't able to tell us what's wrong. They simply cry, coo, eat, and poop. Using those tools to tell us what's going on in their little bodies is key to understanding our little one's health and Palmer focuses on the icky smelly denominator because it has the most information to tell us. I learned so much from the text...from the natural balance of an infant's intestinal bacteria to tons of other stuff I never would have thought to ask about poop.
Linda F. Palmer clearly has done her research and is well studied in infant healthcare and treatment. The book was scientific, well written, and contained an enormous amount of information all about poop. Though it can be an icky topic, there is no doubt in my mind that it is also an extremely valuable tool to help care for your babies. Baby Poop should be right up there on the shelf with What to Expect When You're Expecting for future and current parents.

A baby's poop can tell you a wide range of things about your baby: the baby's immune system, GI functioning, and overall health. You can detect and treat many ailments early, from food sensitivities, heart disease, diabetes, and more.. all of which are affected by the gi system. This comprehensive guide covers everything possible and what to do to improve your infant's health. As a Mom I often have questions about what is happening with my child.
Reviewer 57831
While my daughter has cleared the infant stage and we no longer obsess over stools, I still like reading baby books. I can't definitively tell you why, but maybe something to do with the Mommy Forums where it's poop this, spitup that, and pictures of wrinkly, tiny humans all day long.
I admired the author's teacher-like approach, giving us a brief biology and anatomy lesson, then moving on to possible danger signs, when to call your doctor, and why.
What I appreciate is that this book is not just babies and their poop. She goes over various diseases, general health changes for all ages in the u.s, and things like home births, c-sections, and breastfeeding as they relate to GI health in babies.
I would definitely buy this book for any new or anxious mom, or ones like my own mother that believe in research study-based child development.
