Index

◈ Japan's best parenting bible
It has been ranked #1 in the childbirth and childcare category of Japan's largest online marketplace [Amazon.com] for four consecutive years, and is published by the editorial department of Baby-mo, Japan's top childcare magazine, and supervised by Professor Takashi Igarashi of the National Seiku Medical Center, a leading medical institution in Japan.
Accurate medical information, backed by thorough verification, has garnered enthusiastic responses and strong support from Japanese mothers.

Meanwhile, this Korean edition was reviewed by Professor Jeong Seong-hun, a pediatrics authority and Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Kyung Hee University Hospital, Gangdong, further enhancing its reliability.
This book, written by the best parenting experts from Korea and abroad, is expected to become an essential practical guide for new mothers and fathers not only in Japan but also in Korea.


◈ Published for mothers who lack domestic parenting knowledge.
The recent death of a newborn at a university hospital in Korea is a case that clearly shows how insensitive the domestic medical community is to medical hygiene.
These days, with considerable distrust growing in the domestic medical infrastructure and environment, mothers who have completed pregnancy and childbirth and are now seriously engaged in childcare are turning their attention to the childcare markets of advanced countries.
This book contains parenting know-how from Japan, the world's second-largest medical market after the United States.
All the parenting information from medically advanced countries is included in this one book.
Additionally, the delicate and meticulous coaching unique to Japan, which is incorporated throughout the book, provides great reassurance to mothers who are sensitive to even the smallest situations, and the cute illustrations filled with Japanese sensibility double the pleasure of reading.
This book is like a drop of rain in a drought for mothers who have been seeking more diverse and extensive know-how beyond the limited parenting information available domestically.


◈ Includes Korea's childcare support system and services.
This Korean version has been 'localized' to reflect some of the information in the country.
In particular, it faithfully contains information on our government's support programs and systems related to childcare, such as the childcare portal site 'I Love Children' and the 'Infant and Toddler Health Checkup System'.
It also clearly includes the latest information (2018) on services such as childcare allowances and childcare cost support, application guidelines, etc.
After a thorough re-editing process tailored to the domestic situation and meticulous review by Professor Jeong Seong-hun, it was reborn as a complete guide for new Korean mothers and fathers.

◈ It is composed of abundant photos and illustrations to help understanding.
We provide detailed and friendly information on your child's growth process, special features, and points to watch out for by month, using various photos and cute illustrations.
In addition, each chapter includes appropriate visual aids to aid understanding.

In particular, the appendix [Monthly Physical Development Calendar] and [Mind and Language Development Calendar] stand out with their cute illustrations and colorful colors unique to this book.
This chapter has been compiled separately from the book for the convenience of readers.
The child's development is divided into 'motor skills', 'fingers', 'mind', and 'language', and the main development points are introduced, so you can refer to and enjoy the development process of your child through the included baby photos.

◈ You can solve frequently occurring problems at once.
We've compiled Q&A for each topic to address common parenting issues and questions many people have.
Among them, the most important or essential parts are summarized again in the form of a column in the last chapter of each part.
It also includes advice and stories from people who have already experienced parenting, based on age and situation, so it can serve as a guide for similar situations and reduce trial and error.
The conflicting parenting experiences of experienced mothers can sometimes be a great guide and a vitamin that soothes the heart in difficult situations.
This is a practical, concise guide to raising children aged 0-3, tailored to your baby's physical and intellectual development as they grow each day.

◈ Includes disease prevention and safety accident response methods.
Growing children are beings who don't know where they will end up.
They can't control their overflowing activity, which can create dangerous situations that can make their mom and dad's hearts sink.
Sometimes, a child who was previously healthy suddenly becomes unwell and starts to feel sick.

We introduce the basics of vaccination, vaccination methods, types, etc. for our children who do not yet have strong immune systems, and also provide detailed information on various diseases and conditions that infants and young children are prone to.
We also provide safety measures and first aid methods for various situations, such as when you fall, get burned, or get your finger caught.
If we prepare in advance, we can raise our children in a safe and comfortable environment.
