Today I’m going to write about this book which helped me understand my babies. Wouldn’t it be great if the babies (and kids of all ages) came with an instructions guide? Well, this is not exactly that but it definitely helps.
I bought it before having my first baby after a talk with a friend. I wasn’t really planning on buying any book on babies, but I use to browse the internet to see what was going on.
The book is divided in different chapters and can be read completely or as a reference book. It has a section about crying and the reasons, which I have used again with my second child, on the first months it was great having it as a reference book even with the second baby.
The book is written by a “baby whisperer”, which has helped many mothers learn how to take care of their kids. It has all the basic themes – feeding, sleeping, crying, basic care…
Reading it helped me, among others, understand that not all the kids are the same and the tricks aren’t always the same (now that I have two kids I’ve seen that this is absolutely true).
It helped create a routine with my babies. With all the hormonal changes that come after giving birth, the lack of sleep and the importance of having a baby took me to be full of doubts. I use to doubt of everything – is he eating too much/too little, he sleeps a lot/today not as much, is he cold/hot… a disaster. 
This book helped me take a step back and focus and calm down.
We established a routine with the kids, which has been changing with the situations (we don’t have the same routine at the beginning, when we’re on holidays, when they start school…) but we always have a routine. There are certain parts of the routine (eating, sleeping, and bathing) which we normally keep the same, which helps when we travel around. There are also some days when we break the routine (Christmas, birthdays…) and that’s also great.
Our kids eat very well and sleep all night since they were less than 3 months old. What else could we ask for?
If you’re expecting or if you’ve just had a baby I totally recommend this book.

Thanks for your kind words about this book. Sadly, Tracy Hogg did not live to see how helpful her books have been to so many women. Before Tracy died, we planned a fourth book, which I wrote and published last year: Family Whispering. Since you now are way past the infant and toddler stages, you know that the real challenge now is managing your family. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks again for your support – it means a lot.
Best,
Melinda Blau, co-author of the Baby Whisperer books

I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners
and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful
than ever before.
