Isn't the arrival of your long-awaited newborn supposed to be one of the most exciting times in your life? But what happens when your new baby just won't stop crying?
So many moms with fussy and crying babies feel helpless, desperate, and frustrated when there is no help in sight. Well help is here.
Written by a research scientist and mother who suffered through her own baby's colic, 'The Essential Crying Baby Book' empathizes with parents' concerns, emotional struggles, and difficulties in bonding with their baby, while also providing:
* Valuable information on the causes and treatments for normal and excessive crying in babies.
* Essential tools and guidance (minus the false promises and blame), to help parents manage day by day, and eventually overcome the crying ordeal.
* Hope to besieged moms and dads through much-needed support and encouragement.
* Insight for medical professionals and community members into the fear, isolation and despair these parents experience but don't feel safe to communicate.
If you or someone you know is currently or has recently struggled with a fussy baby, this book is an essential resource to survive and emerge bruised, but not broken, and to start enjoying the parenthood journey.
