This book, Dr. Arthur Lavin’s 5th, was written for pregnant women who are seeking substantive information about what can they do to make sure their newborn is as healthy and smart as possible. In this book, Dr. Lavin looks at the following 5 areas in which mothers can have an impact on the health of their baby:
1. Nutrition - what you eat is not only who you are but who your baby will be
2. Mood - addressing disturbances in mood can improve the mental health of your child
3. Exercise - active bodies are healthier and yield healthier outcomes
4. Cognition - engaging your mind, even reading during pregnancy, offers your child improved cognitive outcomes of their own
5. Planning - choosing a pediatrician is a decision that should yield good results for 20 years, so it’s worth thinking for a few weeks about what you are looking for
In each instance The 5 Most Important Things offers parents-to-be solid advice about how each of these areas can impact the outcome of newborn development, and what the mothers-to-be can do to make a positive difference.
The 5 Most Important Things is being distributed at no cost to pregnant women. This availability has been generously supported through a welcome collaboration with Berg’s Baby and Teen Furniture store, a place of rare commitment to high quality, and rated as one of America’s top baby stores.
Copies of The 5 Most Important Things to do During Pregnancy to Ensure the Health of your New Baby are available at Dr. Lavin’s office in Cleveland, Ohio, again at no cost.
If you are pregnant, or have friends or colleagues who are pregnant, let us know, we would be happy to get a copy of The 5 most important things to them.
