Secrets of the Baby Whisperer / Secrets of the Baby Whisperer for Toddlers

by Tracy Hogg

The groundbreaking guides that help parents connect and communicate with their babies and toddlers

SECRETS OF THE BABY WHISPERER

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 of experience.

So I read Tracy Hogg's first book concering the care of infants and LOVED it. It was amazing how well her tips worked with Isaac. I think her key to success is that she categorizes babes into five different personality types and for each type she offers different tips so you come away with very specific things that will work on your specific child. Anyway, now that Isaac is one I am anxious to discover what she recommends for my "spirited" toddler.

Ella is not yet in the terrible twos but is rapidly heading that way. I thought I would try to be prepared for what is to come by reading some popular books on dealing with toddler behavior. This one had some good suggestions. I wish I could say that I would follow most of what she says but I doubt I will be able to rememberall the complicated steps and acronyms to get it all right.

This is a good book, but I would recommend the original BW book over this one. If you get the concepts in the first book you're well on your way to having a happy baby-whispered toddler. This book does offer more information on toddler-specific issues like potty training, tantrums, and biting. If you're a BW fan, it's a good addition to your bookshelf.

This wasn't actually written by the Baby Whisperer. I desperately wanted her insights into toddlerhood, but this book was just regurgitated, reformatted information from the baby book. It even continued sighting younger ages. I never read an example for a child as old as two.
