to understand why baby cries, helps with the stress of it,
By Barbara Henderson (Kent, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Keys to Calming the Fussy Baby (Barron's Parenting Keys) (Paperback)
Why is my baby crying? It gets scary and frustrating, especially for a new parent. There are many thousands of reasons, but this book helped me to understand why my baby is the way she is and what she might need. I am fully behind Dr. and Mrs. Sears in their attachment parenting. Too often, we listen to and are even advised to listen to past generations of parenting skills. While this might be just what you need some times, there's a better view in these books. Past generations "tell it the way it is" as if there just is no other way, and I say "THERE IS A BETTER WAY!" While there are things that are recommended in this book that may not work for you, or fit in with your way of thinking, most will probably help considerably. Some of you may be put off by the idea of "sharing the family bed" for instance. While my husband and I didn't need to do this, I can see how it would be very beneficial for some poor mom (and/or dad) that needs to be feeding her baby every 2 hours! Society shouldn't frown on that! The Sears' teach bonding with and therefore understanding your child and their needs. Without this bond, as so many have missed out on unwillingly, parenting is much more difficult and stressful. This is a terrific book for you to read while you are in third term of pregnancy, a current parent, and a great gift for soon to be parent. If you try their techniques for an area you have a need in, you will see that it does "feel right". Don't let yourself feel guilty for not being able to do everything they suggest, just use this book as a guide of understanding an alternative style of great parenting, a mindset.
