Take the Good with the Bad

I began reading this book shortly after my first child was born. I was horribly tired (as most parents are) and deperate to find information that advocated a middle-of-the-road approach. I do believe this book lived up to that expectation. Is this book perfect...absolutely not. But it is a good starting place for someone who needs to regain his or her sanity. I do agree that her opinions are quite strong, and it can be disconcerting at first if your child doesn't react as she expects. But, her expectations do not have to be yours, even if she wrote the book and you didn't. You are the one raising the baby, so go with what you feel is ultimately best.

Essentially, this book provides a good starting place for new parents if they are willing to accept the advice that works for them, and forget the advice that doesn't.

Good Book --- Slow Receiving It!

The book was in very good condition. The time it took to receive the book, however, was ridiculous. It took well over one month and I had basically resigned myself to the fact that the book had never been mailed. Thus, very unhappy with mailing.

Great resource!

This book was a good and easy read. I followed a lot of the advice and eventually tweaked it to fit my son's needs. The EASY routine is a must for any parent and baby. I found it important, however, to tweak the Baby Whisperer's methods to fit the needs of my child.

I bought this book for my daughter. She told me that she has gotten more useful information out of this book than anywhere else. Thanks to this book. My grandson is sleeping thru the night.

This book saved my sanity!

This book is awesome. I have recommended it to everyone I know that has had a baby. As a new mom, I went crazy the first few weeks trying to figure out what to do and when. I got this book at the library, and suddenly everything was clear. I realized that there was a pattern to my son's crying spells and that he did indicate when he wanted to eat, sleep and play. I was just so caught up in the new mom fog that I couldn't see it for myself. This book gave me guidance. And I'm not kidding, magically my baby was a new baby- and this mom was a new mom. Now I had an idea of how my day would go- like "I can't go to the store when he wakes up because he's going to want to eat right away", thus avoiding a crying fit at the store. I do understand that babies generally tend to fall into their own routine after the first few weeks, but I honestly think that this book helped us to get into a routine quicker. And everyone was happier because of it. Thank you Baby Whisperer!

Book Description

The third book in the bestselling Baby Whisperer series -- the most comprehensive, up-close, and personal to date!

Thousands of parents have asked the Baby Whisperer to help them solve their problems. With this book you too can take advantage of the advice, insights, and parenting techniques from beloved child expert Tracy Hogg. "A problem is nothing more than a situation calling for a creative solution," she reminds us. "Ask the right questions and you'll come up with the right answers."

Once you learn how to translate banguage, the "baby-language" your infant uses to communicate needs, feelings, and opinions, you can see your child for who he or she really is -- an understanding that will serve you well as your child blossoms into the toddler years. By helping you establish a daily routine and tailor your parenting strategies according to your child's unique personality and stage of development, Tracy will teach you how to:

• Ask the Twelve Essential Questions to recognize potential problems and employ the Twelve Principles of Problem Solving -- simple troubleshooting techniques for everyday situations

• Avoid, or remedy, accidental parenting -- inadvertent adult behavior that often leads to such common parenting challenges as sleep problems, poor eating habits, separation anxiety, and tantrums

• Be a P.C. parent -- patient and conscious -- who knows how to detect prime times -- windows of opportunity for teaching babies how to get to sleep on their own, introducing bottles to breast-fed babies, toilet training, and other growth issues

• Inhibit runaway emotions and foster his or her emotional fitness -- the ability to understand and manage feelings

...and so much more. For Tracy's fans, this book will be a welcome addition to the Hogg library; for readers unfamiliar with her philosophy of care, it will open a new world of understanding and insight.
