Perfect for new parents of a colicky baby

My daughter was one of those babies who literally screamed up to 8 hours a day, for the first 3 months of life. After a few weeks of this, we needed new suggestions, and this book has lots of great ideas. Put the baby seat on top the running dryer, reggae music (mine liked ziggy marley), dance with baby. TAKE A BREAK. Put baby somewhere safe and go outside for 5 or 10 minutes. Each idea is like 2 paragraphs, perfect for trying to "read" while holding a screaming infant. :) This is an awesome book for people dealing with colicky babies. You will not regret purchasing it.

This book instantly stopped my baby from crying......

We bought this book as desperate parents of a colicky newborn. We tried many of the suggestions to varied results. Once Cassie was about 7 months old and we were reading this book desperately, she reached out and grabbed the book and was content for nearly a quarter of an hour!! She is now 16 months and it is her favorite book. There is a baby on the cover and lots of drawings and diagrams inside which endlessly fascinate her. The little square shape is just perfect for her little hands. None of the pages are ripped (unlike every other paper book she owns). What a find! Worth every penny
