Secrets of the Baby Whisperer: How to Calm, Connect, and Communicate with Your Baby by Melinda Blau, Tracy Hogg

3.0

There's a lot to unpack here...
Pretty much everything in this book about breastfeeding is wrong. All the advice needs to be taken with many grains of salt. Under no circumstances should it replace a book of actual breastfeeding advice.
That said, reading about establishing routine helped me after about five months of being all-baby-all-the-time. The Pick Up/Put Down method helped us do some gentle sleep training, although the process is better explained in the Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems book.
In some ways, I wish I'd read this book before Firstborn arrived, instead of Happiest Baby on the Block. But as it happened, this was a decent thing to read while taking my pumping breaks at work.
