    The last thing new parents can find time for is quiet reading, so many helpful books on infant care rely on bullet points and a "let's get to the point" writing style. Tracy Hogg, a neonatal nurse, teacher, and mother of two, uses these techniques to good effect in Secrets of the Baby Whisperer. Focusing on newborns and their parents, her simple programs are a blend of intelligent intuition and methods based on years of experience. The first half of the book is devoted to E.A.S.Y--her name for creating a structured daily routine for you and your baby that makes the most of your baby's awake times and also leaves time just for you. These concepts aren't designed to force your bundle of joy into not following her body's needs, but rather to create a feasible middle ground between total rigidity and on-demand food and sleep (and no time for mom to shower). If it still strikes you as too regimented, keep reading. The author makes room for differences in personal style and includes short quizzes to determine whether you're a "planner" or a "winger", and what level of daily structure you are likely to find helpful. In the same chapter, she identifies five general temperaments of infants, how to get an accurate feel for yours, and what methods of care are likely to be the most effective for his temperament. Her statement that babies prefer routine is backed up by research from the University of Denver. While most of the book relies on anecdotes to get the points across, Hogg does find room to back up some of her statements with quotes from various researchers and institutions. Included at the end of the book are assurances that E.A.S.Y. can be followed even with a colicky baby or one who's been ruling the roost for the first few months. Frustrated parents might like to read the last page first: "all the baby-whispering advice in the world is useless unless you're having a good time being a parent" is an excellent reminder to enjoy this time with all of its ups and downs. --Jill Lightner

  • Product Description

    â??TRACY HOGG HAS GIVEN PARENTS A GREAT GIFTâ??the ability to develop early insight into their childâ??s temperament.â?
    â??Los Angeles Family

    When Tracy Hoggâ??s Secrets of the Baby Whisperer was first published, it soared onto bestseller lists across the country. Parents everywhere became â??whisperersâ? to their newborns, amazed that they could actually communicate with their baby within weeks of their childâ??s birth. Tracy gave parents what for some amounted to a miracle: the ability to understand their babyâ??s every coo and cry so that they could tell immediately if the baby was hungry, tired, in real distress, or just in need of a little TLC. Tracy also dispelled the insidious myth that parents must go sleepless for the first year of a babyâ??s lifeâ??because a happy baby sleeps through the night. Now you too can benefit from Tracyâ??s more than twenty yearsâ?? experience. In this groundbreaking book, she shares simple, accessible programs in which you will learn:

    â?¢ E.A.S.Y.â??how to get baby to eat, play, and sleep on a schedule that will make every member of the householdâ??s life easier and happier.
    â?¢ S.L.O.W.â??how to interpret what your baby is trying to tell you (so you donâ??t try to feed him when he really wants a nap).
    â?¢ How to identify which type of baby yours isâ??Angel, Textbook, Touchy, Spirited, or Grumpyâ??and then learn the best way to interact with that type.
    â?¢ Tracyâ??s Three Day Magicâ??how to change any and all bad habits (yours and the babyâ??s) in just three days.

    At the heart of Tracyâ??s simple but profound message: treat the baby as you would like to be treated yourself. Reassuring, down-to-earth, and often flying in the face of conventional wisdom, Secrets of the Baby Whisperer promises parents not only a healthier, happier baby but a more relaxed and happy household as well.
