babies. She can calm even the most distressed or difficult infant, because
she understands their language. Hence, her clients call her 'The Baby
Whisperer'. Her incredible sensitivity and ability to read infants' cries,
coos and assorted baby noises quickly earned Tracy the admiration and
gratitude of high-profile couples, including a host of celebrities Super
Secrets of the Baby Whisperer includes essential tips on feeding, sleeping,
behaviour and toilet training from infancy to the age of 3. Tracy
demystifies the magic she has performed with some five thousand babies. She
teaches parents how to work out what kind of baby they have, what kind of
mother and father they are, and what kind of parenting plan will work best
for them. Believing that babies need to become part of the family - rather
than dominate it - she has developed a practical programme that works with
infants as young as a day old.

what you smell like." And so the parent is instructed to give the newly

The
No-cry Sleep Solution: Gentle
Ways to Help Your Baby
Sleep Through the Night
More Information
Sleep is the one of the most-discussed topics among new parents - because
they don't get enough. Most books on helping babies sleep fall into two
categories: let them cry it out or simply live with getting up at night.
Parent educator Elizabeth Pantley, author of Perfect Parenting, wasn't
satisfied with either approach. Her method is based on research into sleep
associations and has been tested and proven effective with her own child and
a varied group of scores of mothers and babies from across the U.S., Canada,
and even Europe. The method will appeal to parents because it does not
involve leaving your child to cry himself to sleep. And best of all, it
really works. The responses from the test group have been fabulous -
children who had been waking up four and five times or more every night
began to sleep through - with no crying. This is the long-sought-after
answer for sleep-deprived parents who don't want to let their children cry
themselves to sleep.
