He trained entire generations of parents with his books and was considered the educational pope of Switzerland. Remo H. Largo died Thursday at the age of 76. Two mothers tell how helpful the pediatrician’s advice was.
Brigitte Hefti (51), a housewife from Winterthur ZH, was very insecure after the birth of her twins (9): “They both really didn’t want to gain weight. The nutritionists came up with a hearty meal plan, but they both stayed lean. Then I had in my hands the book ‘Baby Years’ by Remo Largo († 76). There he wrote that all children are normal, even if they deviate from a norm. Suddenly I realized that my children grow when they are ready. My motto ever since: If the kids don’t feel like it, there’s no point in forcing them! “
For Martina Moses (46), secretary and mother of two children (8 and 12) from Hettlingen ZH, Largo’s book “Baby Years” was the Bible for pregnant women: “I read it during my first pregnancy because I wanted to know what it was like. a healthy child develops. Through the book I realized: each child is individual and I left behind the norms of development. All children eat and learn when the time comes. The pressure to act is also futile. I prefer to let the children play and not force them to do something they don’t want to. “
