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.
