Childcare has been erased from teachings and textbooks and perhaps it is time to apply it again. Childcare is that fundamental part of pediatrics that is not limited to illnesses, but goes to the bottom of relationships, from which many illnesses either arise or worsen.
And that will mark the rest of your life if these relationships are not fixed in time.
This article reports a central chapter of the book "I primi 1000 giorni d’oro. La Puericultura per i genitori e per chi cura i bambini".
I have chosen a sui generis chapter, which does not deal with illnesses or prenatal issues, but with behavior and relationships.
The book talks about the life of the child from conception, from the risks he runs in a polluted environment or an altered diet, up to the approach of the first pains and growth, putting the child and his family back at the center of the medical examination.
