New Releases by Heidi Murkoff

Em uma nova edição revisada e atualizada, O que esperar do primeiro ano, de Heidi Murkoff, autora da série best-seller de livros sobre parentalidade, é um guia essencial com tudo que você precisa saber sobre o primeiro ano do bebê. O primeiro ano é, provavelmente, o que tem mais impacto na vida de uma criança. No entanto, bebês não vêm com manual de instruções. Heidi Murkoff sabe disso e se sentiu completamente perdida quando sua primeira filha nasceu. Não sabia como segurá-la, alimentá-la, trocar suas fraldas, embalá-la, colocá-la para arrotar, acalmá-la ou simplesmente como se comunicar com ela. Ela se atrapalhava para apoiar a cabeça da filha, ainda sem sustentação, para passar seus bracinhos moles pelas mangas da camiseta, para amamentar. Esperava que seus instintos maternos não a deixassem na mão, mas deixaram. Apesar do impacto na sua autoestima, ela e seu marido conseguiram passar pelo processo, com uma fralda mal trocada, um banho mal dado e uma noite sem dormir de cada vez. Tendo já publicado o best-seller sobre gravidez O que esperar quando você está esperando, Murkoff decidiu escrever a sequência: O que esperar do primeiro ano. Sem se restringir à própria experiência, reuniu uma série de pesquisas e preparou este guia para ajudar os pais a passarem pelo primeiro ano de seus filhos com mais confiança, conhecimento, alegria e menos estresse. Nessa nova edição revisada e atualizada, às dicas atemporais (como trocar fraldas, por exemplo), foram acrescidas as tendências mais recentes (fraldas ecológicas), informações sobre como fazer a amamentação funcionar (inclusive no retorno da mãe ao trabalho), cursos de cuidados com bebês, como lidar com a tecnologia (pesquisas sobre o impacto do tempo de tela em crianças), além de novas informações que ajudam a avaliar o que é ou não necessário comprar para o bebê. Há ainda um novo cronograma para acompanhar o desenvolvimento da criança, dicas práticas para os pais, um capítulo estendido sobre cuidados com prematuros (com um glossário de termos médicos para compreender melhor o que é dito na UTI neonatal) e informações atualizadas sobre saúde (vacinas, terapias alternativas, probióticos e homeopatia) e segurança (cadeirinha para o carro, produtos seguros e primeiros socorros para casos de emergência). Com mais de 11 milhões de cópias vendidas, O que esperar do primeiro ano é um guia que traz todas as instruções que os pais gostariam de receber de forma empática, reconfortante e divertida.

O best-seller número 1 sobre gravidez em nova edição ilustrada, revisada e atualizada. Um guia completo que explica tudo que você precisa saber sobre os nove meses, da concepção ao pós-parto. O que esperar quando você está esperando nasceu — na verdade, foi concebido — com a gravidez surpresa da autora. Buscando saber o que esperar da gestação, ela se deparou com a escassez de informações nas fontes que consultou. Conhecedora apenas de biologia básica e precisando de respostas para as dúvidas e preocupações que tinha, Heidi Murkoff escreveu este livro, que se tornou o maior best-seller sobre gravidez do mundo. Esta nova edição ilustrada, revisada e atualizada traz informações essenciais, conselhos práticos, dicas fáceis e uma visão realista do processo de gestação. Você vai encontrar as últimas novidades sobre pré-natal, exames, quais medicamentos são seguros e as opções para o parto — na água, cesariana etc. Seu estilo de vida durante a gravidez ganha igual destaque: de tendências alimentares ao consumo de café; de exercícios físicos ao sexo; de viagens às rotinas de beleza e cuidados com a pele etc. Tem sintomas? Neste livro você vai encontrar soluções. Esperando gêmeos? Há um capítulo sobre isso. Está prestes a se tornar pai? Este livro também é para você. Todos os assuntos médicos foram incluídos e atualizados com as últimas novidades em exames e diagnósticos pré-natais, a segurança dos medicamentos (incluindo antidepressivos) durante a gestação, os bancos de cordões umbilicais, terapias complementares e alternativas, e uma nova seção sobre a contracepção pós-parto. As questões mais variadas também são abordadas, de chás de revelação a presentes para a nova mãe, de consumir cafeína e beber uma taça ocasional de vinho a fumar um cigarro eletrônico, ou o quanto deve ser compartilhado nas redes sociais, além de cuidados com a pele e o cabelo, o uso de procedimetos cosméticos e orientações de beleza. Para os pais, há seções integradas ao longo do livro que abordam suas preocupações como parceiros na gestação, no parto e na criação. Com mais de 23 milhões de exemplares vendidos no mundo todo, O que esperar quando você está esperando ajudou e continua ajudando mães e pais nessa jornada mágica, mas bastante desafiadora, da gravidez.

The essential sequel to What to Expect the First Year, with 11 million copies in print, What to Expect the Second Year picks up the action at baby’s first birthday, and takes parents through what can only be called “the wonder year”—12 jam-packed (and jam-smeared) months of memorable milestones (from first steps to first words, first scribbles to first friends), lightning-speed learning, endless explorations driven by insatiable curiosity. Not to mention a year of challenges, both for toddlers and the parents who love them, but don’t always love their behaviors (picky eating, negativity, separation anxiety, bedtime battles, biting, and tantrums). Comprehensive, reassuring, empathetic, realistic, and practical, What to Expect the Second Year is filled with solutions, strategies, and plenty of parental pep talks. It helps parents decode the fascinating, complicated, sometimes maddening, always adorable little person last year’s baby has become.

There’s a developmental time line of the second year plus special “milestone” boxes throughout that help parents keep track of their toddler’s development. Thinking of traveling with tot in tow? There’s a chapter for that, too.
