Clearly a remarkable person, Tracy Hogg (the "baby whisperer") has an impressive ability to understand and relate to babies. Herself a mother, she is an experienced maternity nurse and has derived her approach from her dealings with countless babies and their families. Forgiving and sympathetic in style, her book is well written, immensely readable and is full of gems and shrewd observations that even the seasoned parent may not have worked out. She emphasises the importance of showing respect to your baby: "Just try to remember that this is a little human being in your arms, a person whose senses are alive, a tiny being who already knows your voice and even what you smell like." And so the parent is instructed to give the newly returned-home baby an explanatory commentary and friendly guided tour of his or her new home.
Those who enjoy personality quizzes will love the Know-Your-Baby Quiz in which you can "zero in" on your baby's type which, according to Ms Hogg could be "Angel", "Textbook", "Touchy", "Spirited" or "Grumpy". She then provides tips on the best way to handle each type of baby. Advocating a structured routine with the acronym EASY (Eat, Activity, Sleep, You) she then demonstrates how it works for the benefit of all the family. The book covers most topics from sex to weaning, but possibly the most helpful, even beautiful, section is where the Baby Whisperer divulges her secrets for interpreting your baby's body language, signals and cries.
If you find The Baby Whisperer helpful, you may well also be interested in Gina Ford's The Contented Little Baby Book, What to Expect: the First Year and the slightly higher brow Babyhood by Penelope Leach. --Rebecca Pickering

Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. Reprint. TRACY HOGG HAS GIVEN PARENTS A GREAT GIFT-the ability to develop early insight into their childs temperament.-Los Angeles FamilyWhen Tracy Hoggs 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 childs birth. Tracy gave parents what for some amounted to a miracle: the ability to understand their babys 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 babys life-because a happy baby sleeps through the night. Now you too can benefit from Tracys 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 households life easier and happier. S.L.O.W.-how to interpret what your baby is trying to tell you (so you dont 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. Tracys Three Day Magic-how to change any and all bad habits (yours and the babys) in just three days.At the heart of Tracys 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.
