My Pregnancy: A Record Book - (Review) I bought this book after having the Wedding book from the same series given to us when we got married. I recommend all the record books by Havoc publishing - they are all wonderful. This pregnancy record book was very easy to fill in and fun to do. It has lots of placed to record all the wonderful moments in your pregnancy and they are fun to look back on. I've already bought another for our next baby! My friends have really loved it too and bought it for themselves. Great keepsake! I haven't found anything else that is as thorough and easy to put together.

On Becoming Baby Wise: The Classic Reference Guide Used by Over 1,000,000 Parents Worldwide - (Review) I've read this book cover to cover and it reiterates flexibility through out; even cites examples. I've also read several reviews of this book and I don't understand where the "cruelty" lies in following these guidelines. It is clear that Ezzo recognizes and supports a child's need to be nurtured, cuddled, etc. I have used this method with my daughter since 6 weeks and she is a well-adjusted, secure and extremely happy 14 month old...who eats well and rarely makes a peep when going down for a nap or at bedtime! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with sleep and/or feeding issues.

Secrets of the Baby Whisperer: How to Calm, Connect, and Communicate with Your Baby - When Tracy Hogg’s Secrets of the Baby Whisperer was first published, it soared onto bestseller lists across the country. Parents everywhere became “whisperers” to their newborns, amazed that they could actually communicate with their baby within weeks of their child’s birth. Tracy gave parents what for some amounted to a miracle: the ability to understand their baby’s every coo and cry so that they could tell immediately if the baby was hungry, tired, in real distress, or just in need of a little TLC. Tracy also dispelled the insidious myth that parents must go sleepless for the first year of a baby’s life–because a happy baby sleeps through the night. Now you too can benefit from Tracy’s more than twenty years’ experience. In this groundbreaking book, she shares simple, accessible programs.
