Secrets of the Baby Whisperer (Abridged) Audiobook

" I heard great things about this book. But honestly I do not like her approach at all. However I've started her toddler book and I do like that. It's definitely not as cold and rigid. "

" This book is a little self-centered around this British nanny. She thinks because it's worked for her, it's gospel. I suppose experience is probably the best test, but there's not too much science behind her actions. At the end, I got this feeling like if I didn't hire her specifically, I would be just as screwed up as a parent as her other book characters. "

" We will see how well her advice works in about three weeks! "

" This is so important for new parents to read, but make sure you do it before the baby is 6 months old! Otherwise baby will outgrow many of the strategies. Start the first day you bring him or her home! "

" It was full of great ideas. The auther describes ways of dealing/raising youe child based on their personalities. I read this a bit late with my first child and with twins I rarely had time to focus on their personallities to effectivly set their schedules. I good resource for parents. "

" This book is ridiculous "

" I checked this book out from the library because a friend loves the EASY plan (which says infants should eat, have activity, then sleep, in that order). I think the book is pretty useless because babies are all different - just like parents - and reading these instruction manual type books is more frustrating than helpful and likely to make mom feel like she's doing something wrong. "

" It was an easy read and gave some helpful hints (so far in theory). We'll see how helpful they are when I have a screaming newborn and am sleep deprived. "

" I don't agree with all the advice in this book but it did give me some good ideas and helped me recognize when baby was hungry or sleepy etc... when we were still in the new new phase. "

" I think she has some good ideas, but I also think a lot of them are common sense. "

" I leared a lot about different types of babies and about a parenting style in between Ferber and attachment parenting. "

" Good book on establishing your baby's routine. But keep in mind that every child is different so implement the changes slowly till you get to the schedule that is convenient to both you and your little one. I do not agree with Hogg on breastfeeding though. "

" Another one my Mom got me recently. Thanks Mom. A great resource for first time moms, or for parents who need direction to fix bad habits they've developed with their babies or kids. "

" Secret #1: change your last name to Hogg. "

" Very down to earth and what she suggests worked for us!! "

" Excellent, common sense approach. "

" Great for first time parents. Brings balance to some of the hold them all the time or let them cry it out books. Great section on learning how to read a baby's cry and gestures. Practical advice for getting a child on a good feed, wake, sleep, and play schedule. "

" An interesting look at how to communicate with your new baby. I only hope it helps me soon! "

" she's a little out there, but the author does have some interesting and very helpful information on caring for infants, setting up a routine and caring for yourself as a new mom. "

" Sounds nice in theory, like most baby books. The reality isn't the same :) "

" This book really helped me to understand my babies and their needs. It is excellent in teaching you how to get your baby into a routine that will make both mommy and baby happy. "

" Very helpful and insightful - especially in the first couple months. "

" I really like the tone of this book; it remains to be seen if her advice works, but overall it's an easy read and very encouraging. I agree with her approach to caring for a baby, "family-centered, common sense, structured routine but flexible." "

" Great book for first time moms and repeat moms! Loved it! "

" she is my Mama Diva!!!! the ONLY book u really need to read IF you are pregnant..... "

" I liked the author's nonjudgmental attitude. Obviously, everyone has to do what is right for their baby, but her advice makes sense to me. "

" Tracy Hogg and I don't agree on every point, but this book is absolutely invaluable to me when I have an infant. This book takes the credit for my getting my babies to sleep through the night in a way that worked out well for all of us. "

" This book was just what I needed as a new mom. It simplified things for me and helped me realize what I needed to do to have a happier baby and therefore a happier me! "

" One of the best books on childcare I have read. Good philosophy that applies not just to babies but to life. Respect each other. Respect yourself. Disagree with her ideas about thumb sucking tough. "

" This has been the best parenting book I've come across. Her advice is practical, logical, and follows the pattern of the baby all while helping parents find a solid, comfortable routine in which to raise their child. "

" I was a little skeptical simply because of the "whisperer" thing, but this honestly was very helpful and answered a lot of questions that I didn't even know I had! "

" This was a good book that we got pretty late, when we had already solved lots of our problems, but I did like it and I like the description of child temperaments. "

" I have actually read this book before but have pulled it off my shelf for a review... <br/>...Of course, I'm doing it all wrong. "

" This is a FABULOUS book. I felt completely lost with Anna when she was born. THis book got me going in a Great direction! "

" the best mommy book i've read yet...a good reference "

" I liked her thoughts on newborn care--she seems right in the middle between the total left of Dr. Sears and total right of Baby Wise. "
