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

3.0

I'm a middle if the road, all things in moderation, non-extreme approach gal. Every book or approach I've read about has some pieces that ring true and others that don't. I find most books tend to be written about a philosophy toward the end of a spectrum and this is no different. I do like the idea of a flexible schedule and one that starts with eating, is followed by "activity," and then wraps with sleep. I also like the baby cues she spells out.

I don't think her approach allows for any flexibility in getting out of the house with the baby. She also only addresses bed-sharing OR own crib from day one. I wish she addressed co-sleepers (or room sharing as advised by the APA) and wraps/slings as part of increasing parent mobility.
