  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;&amp;#8220;TRACY HOGG HAS GIVEN PARENTS A GREAT GIFT&amp;#8211;the ability to develop early insight into their child&amp;#8217;s temperament.&amp;#8221;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;#8211;Los Angeles Family&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;When Tracy Hogg&amp;#8217;s &lt;i&gt;Secrets of the Baby Whisperer&lt;/i&gt; was first published, it soared onto bestseller lists across the country. Parents everywhere became &amp;#8220;whisperers&amp;#8221; to their newborns, amazed that they could actually communicate with their baby within weeks of their child&amp;#8217;s birth. Tracy gave parents what for some amounted to a miracle: the ability to understand their baby&amp;#8217;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&amp;#8217;s life&amp;#8211;because a happy baby sleeps through the night. Now you too can benefit from Tracy&amp;#8217;s more than twenty years&amp;#8217; experience. In this groundbreaking book, she shares simple, accessible programs in which you will learn: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; E.A.S.Y.&amp;#8211;how to get baby to eat, play, and sleep on a schedule that will make every member of the household&amp;#8217;s life easier and happier.&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; S.L.O.W.&amp;#8211;how to interpret what your baby is trying to tell you (so you don&amp;#8217;t try to feed him when he really wants a nap).&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; How to identify which type of baby yours is&amp;#8211;Angel, Textbook, Touchy, Spirited, or Grumpy&amp;#8211;and then learn the best way to interact with that type.&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; Tracy&amp;#8217;s Three Day Magic&amp;#8211;how to change any and all bad habits (yours and the baby&amp;#8217;s) in just three days.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At the heart of Tracy&amp;#8217;s simple but profound message: treat the baby as you would like to be treated yourself. Reassuring, down-to-earth, and often flying in the face of conventional wisdom, &lt;i&gt;Secrets of the Baby Whisperer&lt;/i&gt; promises parents not only a healthier, happier baby but a more relaxed and happy household as well.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Trade Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't pick this up until after my child was already sleeping through the night--I was just curious to see what it had to say.  I think that, more than anything else, it made me realize that I had an &quot;angel baby,&quot; and gave me sympathy for other parents that are having a more difficult ti...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53985600">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Approaching motherhood is a daunting and exciting time. For me, attempting to get prepared has involved asking friends, taking classes and reading... a ton.  It is difficult as the 'conventional wisdom' is constantly changing and opinions can vary widely.

    <body><![CDATA[This moderate book was my favorite book on infant care.  Like all baby books, there was a bit of pompousness, but at least the author's British background makes it seem a bit more charming and a bit less annoying. I found this to be a good balance between the on-demand vs. highly scheduled approache...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72905816">more...</a>]]></body>

This book will give you what I believe to be completely wrong-headed ideas, and probably a big dose of self-doubt (bigger than the ones you get from most self-help books, even).

    <body><![CDATA[This is the best baby book I've read thus far. Of course, I realize that not everyone shares my views but I loved it! The &quot;baby schedule&quot; is basically the same as Babywise except she doesn't believe in the &quot;Cry-it-out&quot; method.
