Product Description:
The third book in the bestselling Baby Whisperer series -- the most comprehensive, up-close, and personal to date!
Thousands of parents have asked the Baby Whisperer to help them solve their problems. With this book you too can take advantage of the advice, insights, and parenting techniques from beloved child expert Tracy Hogg. 'A problem is nothing more than a situation calling for a creative solution,' she reminds us. 'Ask the right questions and you'll come up with the right answers.'
Once you learn how to translate banguage, the 'baby-language' your infant uses to communicate needs, feelings, and opinions, you can see your child for who he or she really is -- an understanding that will serve you well as your child blossoms into the toddler years. By helping you establish a daily routine and tailor your parenting strategies according to your child's unique personality and stage of development, Tracy will teach you how to:
• Ask the Twelve Essential Questions to recognize potential problems and employ the Twelve Principles of Problem Solving -- simple troubleshooting techniques for everyday situations
• Avoid, or remedy, accidental parenting -- inadvertent adult behavior that often leads to such common parenting challenges as sleep problems, poor eating habits, separation anxiety, and tantrums
• Be a P.C. parent -- patient and conscious -- who knows how to detect prime times -- windows of opportunity for teaching babies how to get to sleep on their own, introducing bottles to breast-fed babies, toilet training, and other growth issues
• Inhibit runaway emotions and foster his or her emotional fitness -- the ability to understand and manage feelings
...and so much more. For Tracy's fans, this book will be a welcome addition to the Hogg library; for readers unfamiliar with her philosophy of care, it will open a new world of understanding and insight.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A must-read book before your baby arrives
My feelings are very strong about this book. I believe this book, recommended by a another mom/friend of mine, saved my sanity and kept my cool during my motherhood of 3.5 years and 2 kids.
I have read other major sleep/baby care books such as No-cry sleep solution; Babywise; Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child as well.
This book's basis is the same with all the books above. Whatever you do in the name of parenting, first see/ hear /observe your child, then try to understand ... Read More
Rating:  - Horrible!
Simply put, this book makes matters worse! We used the pick up/put down technique to try to help our daughter sleep better when she was 5 months old and she cried terribly, we slept LESS in the process, and the worst part of it was that she lost trust in us which took weeks to earn back. I would highly recommend NOT even opening this book, unless you are looking for a very stressful and traumatic experience and want to break the bond you have with your child. Try Pantley's No Cry Sleep Solution and ... Read More
Rating: - very helpful
This book changed my life overnight - and the lives of my baby and husband! No book is perfect, each of our situations is different, but I was totally desperate to find a solution to sleep problems, and I saw a huge improvement after only one day of practicing the methods in this book. I know it will still take some time, but I am amazed.
Rating: - Baby Whisperer Review
This book is filled with great ideas and suggestions!
Apparently raising a baby should be fun and easy; Who knew!!!!
Tracy Hogg simplifies child rearing to its absolute basics, so if you are still suffering from post baby brain loss it still makes sense.
An absolute must read for before you have your baby and for the 'quiet' weeks that follow.
Rating: - good, but take it with a grain of salt
When my lovely daughter recently started going to sleep at 12am instead of 10pm like she did for the first three months of her life I phoned our doctor and she recommended this book. I got this version because it included infancy through toddlerhood and figured it would be good for later too. Now since we have started using it our dear baby girl has been sleeping through the night, in her own crib, in her very own room! The only issue I have is that they go through the intro stuff so fast that it doesn't ... Read More
