Summary	The right start in life means -- 1. A healthy father and mother. 2. Good care for the mother through the prenatal period -- in the home, including food planned to meet the needs of both mother and baby, sunshine, exercise, rest, and freedom from worry; through regular medical supervision and dental care from private practitioners, prenatal clinic, or health center. Advice from a public-health nurse will help the mother to do what the doctor says. 3. Birth in a hospital equipped for maternity services or under safe conditions at home. 4. Medical attendance of the mother when the baby is born and during the lying-in period. This should be given by an obstetrician where necessary. 5. Care of the mother and baby throughout the lying-in period by a nurse or by a person supervised by a qualified nurse. 6. Medical supervision of the baby from birth. This should be given by a doctor specially trained in the care of babies or by a qualified family doctor who can consult such a specialist when necessary. 7. Special medical and nursing care for the premature baby.-- p. [3]- [4].
