The Happiest Baby on the Block: The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Newborn Baby Sleep Longer
Lots of my friends have sworn by this book for crying babies. Maybe I'll be lucky and get a baby as easy as I was. If not, I'll try the calming method described in this book. Although, I have to say that it's hard to give a star rating without knowing if they work or not.The premise of the book is that babies' first 3 months are like a 4th trimester (wouldn't that be a quadmester or something like that?) and the baby needs the same comforts of the womb: swaddling, side/stomach, swinging, shhhing, and sucking.
I have to say, though, that the author really could have said what he had to say in about 5-20 pages rather than over 100 pages. He repeated himself over and over and over ad nauseum. I guess that's what you do if you want to sell a book on a simple concept. Here's to hoping that the simple concept works if needed.
