5.0 out of 5 stars Great breadkdown of the WHY babies can cry - and HOW to help, November 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 365 Ways to Calm Your Crying Baby (Paperback)

The book has two sections: why babies cry during infancy and why babies cry when a little older. It suggests ways to calm crying under different circumstances -- fussy, tired, hungry, angry, and bored.

I just had my second baby and was so grateful for the book as a birth present. I used many of the techniques from rocking, massaging and blowing in the face -- which I never would have thought of on my own. And what appreciated most about the book was the ideas that didn't come to my mind, but that I could find in the book.

A bonus was all the new songs I could learn to calm my baby and then I would teach them to my older child so she could sing to the baby. Also included are some symptoms to watch for incase of illness.

I'd highly recommend this book to any new mother, whether for your first baby or not. It's easy reading and presents great ideas for the tired and frustrated parent. The author has a fabulous sense of humor that comes through strong and you will chuckle through many of the pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most practical new parent book with a senseof humor., August 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 365 Ways to Calm Your Crying Baby (Paperback)

This is perhaps the most comforting book for a new parent since Dr.Spock. Like De. Spock, the author is a well known pediatrician and as a father recognizes the problems a parent faces when the baby cries. The very practical suggestions would stand any parent in good stead but for the new parent it is essential. I believe this is one of the best gifts a friend can give to the new mother.
