Announcing the completely revised third edition of What to Expect the First Year . With over 10.5 million copies in print, First Year is the world’s best-selling, best-loved guide to the instructions that babies don’t come with, but should. And now, it’s better than ever. Every parent’s must-have/go-to is completely updated. But there are a few periods when sleep regression is relatively foreseeable, due to growth spurts, teething or reaching new milestones: Other developmental milestones you may see your baby reach this month include waving bye-bye, playing patty-cake and blowing kisses.

It’s a fat flattener. Breastfed infants are less likely to be too chubby. That is, in part, because breastfeeding lets baby’s appetite call the shots—and the ounces. A breastfed baby is likely to stop feeding when full, while a bottle-fed infant may be urged to keep feeding until the bottle’s emptied. What’s more, breast milk is actually ingeniously calorie controlled. The lower-calorie foremilk (served up at the start of a feed) is designed as a thirst quencher. The higher calorie hindmilk (served up at the end of a feed) is a filler-upper, signaling to a nurser that it’s quitting time. And research suggests that the fat-defeating benefits of breastfeeding follow a baby out of the nursery—and into high school. Studies show that former breastfeeders are less likely to battle weight as teens—and the longer they were breastfed, the lower their risk of becoming overweight. Another potential health plus for nursers once they’ve graduated to adulthood: Breastfeeding is linked to lower cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure later in life. Don’t push food on baby. If she likes only one food for a week or more, let her eat it. However, try to sneak other foods into or onto it.

It’s virtually allergy-proof. Babies are almost never truly allergic to breast milk (though occasionally an infant may be sensitive to something mom has eaten). The formula flip side? About 2 to 3 percent of babies turn out to have an allergy to cow’s milk formula. And there’s more good news on the allergy front: evidence that breastfed babies may be less likely to develop asthma and eczema than babies fed formula.
