BABY BODY SIGNS(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　From blue birthmarks to bulging belly buttons, dimpled ears to
double eyelashes, this indispensable guide will teach you how to
interpret the “body signs” that are important clues to your baby’s
health.
　　Like most parents, you probably notice—and often worry
about—every little change in your growing baby. Why is one of his
pupils bigger than the other? What’s that bald spot on her head?
Why is he walking on tippy toes? Drawn from the latest research and
reviewed by a panel of pediatricians and other medical experts,
Baby Body Signs will answer these and other troubling questions.
You’ll also learn
　　? when snoring is normal and when it’s a sign of sleep
apnea
　　? what type of freckles may signal a rare genetic disorder
　　? how a simple baby photo can help uncover an eye tumor
　　? when swollen breasts in babies are a sign of a hormonal
problem
　　Baby Body Signs will help you decide when to call the
pediatrician and when to relax and stop worrying. What’s more, it’s
packed with fascinating facts about child health—from how in
medieval Europe babies were expected to talk when they had all
their teeth to the fact that the ears are the first part of the
body to reach full size. As entertaining as it is informative, this
is the book you’ll want to keep close at hand throughout your
baby’s infancy and toddler years.

　　“This is one of the most useful baby books my wife and I have
come across, and it often cuts right to the chase of what’s serious
and what’s not. As new parents, we find ourselves asking exactly
the kinds of questions this book answers. In many situations,
unnecessary long hours in doctor’s office waiting rooms, long holds
to speak to nurse advice call-in lines, misinformation gathered
from Internet searches, and serious conditions going undiagnosed
could be avoided if all parents had a copy of this book on their
shelf.”

　　This is a reassuring and comprehensive resource for new parents
who want to gain a better understanding of normal and abnormal baby
characteristics.”

　　“Baby Body Signs is the antidote for the anxiety parents suffer
when they notice some-thing unusual about their baby and then worry
until their next doctor visit. It is well written and contains a
wealth of information not found in other parenting books. It will
be an excellent addition to any parent’s library.”
