What to Expect When You're Expecting meets What's Your Poo Telling
You? in this informative, entertaining, and practical guide to
understanding your baby's digestion.
Let's face it: babies don't do much. So when we want to know how a baby
is feeling, we look at how they are eating, sleeping, and pooping. But
baby digestion is a complicated landscape, and most parents struggle to
interpret everything from burps and grunts to diapers and spit-up. In
fact, for parents of newborns, digestive issues are one of the leading
causes of pediatrician visits.
Enter Bryan Vartabedian, MD, one of America's top pediatric
gastroenterologists. In Looking Out for Number Two, Dr. Vartabedian
draws on more than twenty years of experience as a doctor and father to
present an insightful yet irreverent guide to newborn digestive health:
what goes in, what comes out, and what it all means.
In this accessible, easy-to-use manual, Dr. Vartabedian tackles
everything from standard questions about burping positions and bowel
movements to hot button issues like the role of the microbiome in the
development of allergies and the debate over breast milk versus formula.
Throughout, he soothes parents' concerns and answers their most urgent
question: "Is this normal?"
Complete with illustrations, lively anecdotes, and a healthy dose of
humor, Looking Out for Number Two is required reading for every new
parent and is sure to become an instant classic.
