Read an Excerpt

Chapter 1: Getting Your Baby on a Structured Routine
You probably have a routine in the morning. You get up at roughly the same time, maybe you shower first or have your coffee, or perhaps you immediately hop on the treadmill or take your pup out for a brisk walk.

Chapter 1: Getting Started: Guidelines for Different Ages
Establishing a routine for the first time gets a bit harder as the baby grows, especially if you've never had structure. And because my first book concentrates mainly on the first four months of E.A.S.Y., some parents of older children find themselves

Chapter 1: Six to Nine Months
The E.A.S.Y. plan is a different ball game now, although we're still looking at a four-hour routine - and I hear many of the same problems I see in slightly younger babies. But by six months, there's a major growth spurt, too.



Book 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 rime 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.
