Editorial Reviews for Secrets of the Baby Whisperer: How to Calm, Connect, and Communicate with Your Baby
|
“TRACY HOGG HAS GIVEN PARENTS A GREAT GIFT–the ability to develop early insight into their child’s temperament.”
–Los Angeles Family
When Tracy Hogg’s Secrets of the Baby Whisperer was first published, it soared onto bestseller lists across the country. Parents everywhere became “whisperers” to their newborns, amazed that they could actually communicate with their baby within weeks of their child’s birth. Tracy gave parents what for some amounted to a miracle: the ability to understand their baby’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 baby’s life–because a happy baby sleeps through the night. Now you too can benefit from Tracy’s more than twenty years’ experience. In this groundbreaking book, she shares simple, accessible programs in which you will learn:
• E.A.S.Y.–how to get baby to eat, play, and sleep on a schedule that will make every member of the household’s life easier and happier.
• S.L.O.W.–how to interpret what your baby is trying to tell you (so you don’t try to feed him when he really wants a nap).
• How to identify which type of baby yours is–Angel, Textbook, Touchy, Spirited, or Grumpy–and then learn the best way to interact with that type.
• Tracy’s Three Day Magic–how to change any and all bad habits (yours and the baby’s) in just three days.
At the heart of Tracy’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.

Summary: Life Saver!!
Comment: My husband and I received this book as a hand-me-down from a friend. My first thought was, "Oh jeesh, isnt this campy!" Of all the books we read and tried to apply, however, it was the only one that really "worked" for us. And it is short!
Hoagg is the most level-headed and even keeled advisor I have found. She is truly non-judgemental and provides seriously effective, grass-roots advice for parents. We found it hard to believe until we tried her suggestions and they worked like a charm every time. No book has ever been written for "your" specific child, but this one is the most unassuming and contains the most flexible and generally applicable information I have seen.
If you are radical in any aspect of your child rearing ideologies, you will probably dislike this book because it is not. There are no favorites here except flexibility. Ms. Hoagg does not mess around with fads, fashions, and band wagons. She teaches you to watch and respond to YOUR child. You are not meant to use this book as a manual, but rather as a guide, which you modify to fit your specific needs (it gives you the basic principles).
We constantly have friends and colleagues asking us how we managed to get such an "easy" child; HA! If you read this book, you will literally understand the secret to EASY. This book is one of the best new mommy secrets I can share. I am now purchasing the toddler version to assist with potty training. Good luck!!

Summary: Good stuff - I hope it works
Comment: This book came highly recommended. I read it and the advice seems pretty solid. It was clear and easy to understand for someone starting with zero baby knowledge. I am still pregnant so I don't know how well the advice will work, but I do believe it is better than going in blind and just trying to wing it.

Summary: Helpful
Comment: I feel the main focus of this cd is newborn babies. I think those who would benefit most would be those who listen to it before the new baby arrives home.

Comment: I found this book to have a great deal of helpful information. It did give us a better understanding of infant sleeping habits and personalities.

Summary: Great resource for new parents
Comment: We purchased this book when our twin daughters were 5 weeks old. My husband read the book cover to cover, while I focused on the portions dealing with sleeping through the night. It was the most I could due in my semi-comatose sleep deprived state. I found the book useful in providing comfort for my anxiousness while giving us great tools to consider implementing in the care of our twins. I don't believe any book is the end-all-be-all so I reviewed the suggestions and tried them and stuck with what worked. I found her insight to be practical and in line with my own philosophy. It was very useful as we prepared to train our babies to sleep through the night. It's good easy reading and provides loads of troubleshooting advice, but like any other advice use what works for you.
