Dr. A. V. Popova. Modern doctrine of the nutrition of young children. Protection of Maternity and Infancy. State Medical Publishing House, c. 2 p. 50 k, 1929

In this book, the author sets himself the task of introducing young doctors and average med. staff of institutions for the Protection of Maternity and Infancy with modern views on the nutrition of young children and the latest achievements in this area. The author's persistent view of dietotherapy as the only remedy for digestive and nutritional disorders in early childhood is undeniable for anyone working in the field of pediatrics. Having established the value of dietetics and diet therapy, the author introduces the scientific data that underlie the preparation and selection of food. In this regard, the author's work provides complete and comprehensive data. All the mixtures used have been carefully developed in terms of composition, preparation technique, calorie content, indications for use. The author pays special attention to milk, its properties, to the equipment of a dairy kitchen. The chapter in which the author introduces the nutrition of a pregnant and breastfeeding mother is valuable.
