Kinderarts Robert Hamilton, Dr. Bob, werd in één klap een YouTube-sensatie toen hij liet zien hoe je een huilende baby binnen een mum van tijd getroost kunt krijgen door hem of haar op een bepaalde, makkelijk toepasbare manier vast te houden. Maar dat is niet zijn enige raad. In Survivalkit voor baby’s eerste jaar voorziet Dr. Bob beginnende maar ook ervaren ouders van duidelijk, verstandig, hartelijk advies voor het eerste jaar met hun baby. Dr. Bob laat met de overtuiging en autoriteit van een ervaren kinderarts, maar vooral ook met zijn kalme, charmante en rustgevende houding zien dat de eenvoudige benadering vaak de beste is. Geen ingewikkelde theorieën of verontrustende handleidingen maar kalme, praktische en eenvoudige adviezen en vooral: gezond verstand. Dr. Bob behandelt onderwerpen als: - Slapen (leer je kindje geduldig om zelf in slaap te vallen) - Borstvoeding (heerlijk voor je baby, indien mogelijk voor mama) - Eten (laat ze er maar een kliederboel van maken) - Huilen (Dr. Bobs befaamde manier van vasthouden) - Vaccinaties (misschien wel zo verstandig) - Kleding (in de eerste zes maanden lang niet altijd nodig) - Speelgoed (hoe simpeler hoe beter) - Computer en televisie (op zo’n jonge leeftijd toch nog maar even niet)

Te vroeg geboren is een verslag van de geboorte en de ontwikkeling van een veel te vroeg geboren kind. Een persoonlijk verhaal op het scherp van de snede over de dunne lijn tussen leven en dood. Milo had vijfentwintig procent kans om gezond te overleven, hoorde Jowi Schmitz in het ziekenhuis. Terwijl haar pasgeboren kind bedekt met draadjes in een plastic bakje lag, deed ze wat ze kon om zélf te overleven. Maar ze kon niets doen, dus schreef ze. Over tegenstrijdige gevoelens: de frustraties en de angst, de hoop en de liefde. Over het geluk en het ongeluk tegelijkertijd. Door stukje bij beetje meer over Milo te verwoorden, door over zijn leven te vertellen, werd hij steeds echter - en als hij echt is, blijft hij misschien wel in leven. Openhartig stelt Schmitz de vragen waar zij en de vader van Milo mee worstelen. De confrontatie met de werkelijkheid is hard: een kind krijgen ís niet altijd idyllisch. Wat als hij minder weegt dan een pak suiker? Wat bedoelt de dokter met 'kans op restschade'? Wat doe je als je hoort dat de kans dat je kind sterft of blijvende schade oploopt groot is, en niemand zegt: 'het komt wel goed'? Wanneer wordt dat kind, in dat bakje met die draadjes, jóuw kind? Te vroeg geboren is even vervreemdend als herkenbaar, voor alle ouders en voor iedereen die zoiets in zijn of haar omgeving meemaakt. Onthutsende constateringen gaan hand in hand met warme, liefdevolle scènes. 'Ik begin van Milo te houden,' schrijft Schmitz elf dagen na zijn geboorte. 'Nu móet hij het wel redden.'

The Textbook of Obstetrics and Gynaecology: a life course approach is the latest edition of the Dutch Textbook Obstetrie en Gynaecologie, de voortplanting van de mens, which has been the leading handbook in Dutch medical and midwifery schools since 1993. In this current edition, for the first time, a life course approach to women?s health is applied to the clinical practice of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Life is considered a continuum ?from the cradle to the grave?, where each life stage affects the individual?s health and wellbeing and that of future generations. This approach in obstetric and gynaecological patient care provides a path towards healthy ageing, with specific attention for lifestyle, prevention and social context. By managing not only disease, but also the health of the population, women?s healthcare providers will deliver future care in a much more multidisciplinary fashion. The textbook?s structure and content have been completely revised and rewritten according to the life course approach, and the volume has been considerably condensed by an outstanding team of authors. The illustrative material has also been renewed, and now includes 3D video animations and films of five surgical procedures in the e-book version. The textbook should serve as a reference not only for medical and midwifery students but also for gynaecologists in training and other clinicians who have the privilege of caring for women and their families, from the earliest moments in life onwards.
