Secrets of the Baby Whisperer by Melinda Blau, Tracy Hogg (2001, Hardcover)

This book is the best guide yet for parenting --and you can use it as early as the day your baby is born--. Following the simple but wise recommendations described in this book, I don't have to suplement with formula any more and my baby, my husband and I are much happier. We finally UNDERSTAND what our daughter needs whenever she cries or fusses (she is 10 weeks old). This book should be mandatory to read for any expecting mom. Tatiana Lewis.

My family is expanding and I wanted a refresher on child care to prepare me to be a grandmother. I was so excited about this book and the common sense that these women teach, that I went and got two more copies for my daughters. They also found the book very down to earth and helpful.
The book details how to recognize and attend to the babies' cries and how to help babies sleep all night. It encourages middle of the ground care - no extremes in parenting but just common sense on how to raise a baby.
I am eager to purchase the Toddler Whisperer book so I can continue to learn. If I had had a book like this when I was a young mother, I could have been so much more effective and less worried. It would have encouraged me and given me more confidence in how I parented. There is so much practical information on how to nurse the baby (without demanding that you do so - also gives guidelines on bottle feeding), how to listen and respect the baby's personality and spirit.
It encourages couples to welcome in the baby to their lives and gives support on how not to feel overwhelmed or run over.
I would strongly advise people to purchase this book.

This book changed my crazy newborn life and made it much more relaxed. I love this book I have 2 kids and one on the way. I read it during every pregnacy! I buy it for all of my girlfriends who are expecting.

The book has helped both my daughters be wonderful mothers to their small children, so I wanted to get a copy for a new mother in our church but didn't want to spend its MSRP of $22.00. I bought this book on e-Bay because it was just what I was looking for and had a fabulous price tag. When it arrived, it was in perfect condition, with no indication it had ever been used, so I wrapped it up and gave it to my friend the next day. Her baby is due in the next few days, so the timing was perfect, and she was very appreciative.

This book has been wonderful! It is easy to read and easy to follow with your new little one. I highly recommend it!

This book was very helpful to me in suggesting flexible routines that I could use when caring for my daughter.

I received a very prompt response to my purchase and the item was in excellent condition. However, I had done all I needed to do in order to have it shipped to another address, but it was sent to me instead...
