Five Things Every New Mom Should Know

1. Know What's Normal
Question marks abound for new parents, so educate yourself about behaviors and traits that may seem unusual but are actually fairly common.

Here are a few examples:

• Belly button popping out: This indicates an umbilical hernia; these usually resolve with no treatment.
• Gooey eyes: These are due to blocked tears ducts and usually resolve around one year of age.
• Back hair: Called "lanugo," this is shed soon after birth.
• Shuddering and crossing eyes: These should go away by four to six months of age.
• Hiccuping and sneezing: These don't necessarily indicate illness in newborns; they simply clear secretions.

2. How to Prevent Allergies and Obesity
If either parent has a history of asthma, allergies, or eczema, breastfeeding or feeding with a hypoallergenic formula may prevent or delay these conditions for the child. Recent findings also indicate increased risk of obesity when food is introduced before four months; Dr. Thebner recommends waiting four to six months to introduce food.

3. New Recommendations for Introducing New Foods
Be sure to read the latest research on introducing new foods to your child's diet, as recommendations have evolved over the years, in some cases dramatically. For example, conventional wisdom once dictated avoiding foods like eggs and peanuts during your baby's first few years of life, but it now appears that doing so will predispose your child to more food allergies.

4. Protect Baby from Disease
Get a flu shot before birth: It gives the baby some protection in utero and also reduces the risk that the baby will catch flu from you. In addition, you may want to consider the Tdap vaccine, a booster for tetanus and whooping cough, which can be fatal in babies.

5. Encourage Healthy Sleep Patterns
It's important to establish healthy sleep patterns early, so read up on sleep strategies before giving birth (while you still have the energy to read!). Dr. Thebner recommends "The Sleep Lady's Good Night, Sleep Tight" and "52 Sleep Secrets for Babies," both by Kim West.

A qual faz jus ao ofício, à variedade e ao ecletismo que os livros nos oferecem, pois até tem criatividade para ser lembrada e honrada num blogue "sobre crianças" :)

The Guardian launches its Children's Books site

Launched on World Book Day, the brand new Guardian children's books site has been designed and curated with the help of a dedicated editorial panel of 100 children and teens from around the world. They told us what they wanted, and we did our best to make it happen. And that's how the site will work: by children, for children.

Take a look around: you can read reviews, follow discussions, and watch and listen to the questions our panel have put to top authors, fromJacqueline Wilson to Malorie Blackman, Michelle Paver to Charlie Higson. There's age-themed content, a monthly podcast, a book club, extracts,quizzes, competitions with amazing prizes (win your height in books!) and much more.

Discover the team by reading their 10-word profiles and watching the 'get involved' video. Inspired to get involved yourself? If you're under 18 and a booklover, we'd love to have you on board. Here's how.

This is just the start - there's loads more exciting stuff lined up for the future. So keep coming back to check out what's new, and get in touch at childrens.books@guardian.co.uk to tell us what you think and what you'd like to see.
