Book Review: The Baby Whisperer Made My Kid Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book back in 2006, after I had my first baby and was struggling to survive! I followed her techniques-not all of them to the letter, but generally-and 2 1/2 years later, I have a great child. By providing Chloe with a consistent routine, she is thriving. She started sleeping through the night at 3 months, has always napped well, and is an extremely well behaved and happy child, even in these "terrible twos".
I think one of the the most important pieces of advice Tracy imparts is "start as you mean to go on", which I took to mean that you can't let things slide-you have to commit to doing something, even if it's not the easy way out, and stick with it. This advice has come in handy SO MANY times, especially now that I have a toddler. Would it be easier to give her pudding for dinner to make her stop yelling at me? Yes. Do I want her thinking she can have pudding for dinner every night? No. Here's your chicken and corn, sweetie. Start as you mean to go on.
The main thing Tracy stresses is the importance of a routine. Some people take issue with having their child in a set routine because it takes commitment to do it and it seems like it would tie you down. What I found is that a routine is extremely liberating, and here's how: every night, Chloe has a bath, we read a story, and then she goes to bed. This is a routine that can go anywhere. Wanna stay in a hotel? Whip out that routine and the kid will go night-night. Wanna leave your child with a friend or relative for the night so you can go away with your hubby? Whip out that routine and the kid will go night-night. See what I mean? By knowing what to expect, your child will be more comfortable and your life will be better as a result. This is the basic advice in Tracy's book. It takes work in the beginning to establish these routines, but the payoff is totally worth it.
I also really liked the book "Wonder Weeks" and wish I had gotten it right when she was born.

Summary of The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems: Sleeping, Feeding, and Behavior--Beyond the Basics from Infancy Through Toddlerhood
Thousands of parents have asked the Baby Whisperer to help them solve their problems. With this book you too can take advantage of the advice, insights, and parenting techniques from beloved child expert Tracy Hogg. "A problem is nothing more than a situation calling for a creative solution," she reminds us. "Ask the right questions and you'll come up with the right answers."
Once you learn how to translate banguage, the "baby-language" your infant uses to communicate needs, feelings, and opinions, you can see your child for who he or she really is -- an understanding that will serve you well as your child blossoms into the toddler years. By helping you establish a daily routine and tailor your parenting strategies according to your child's unique personality and stage of development, Tracy will teach you how to:
. Ask the Twelve Essential Questions to recognize potential problems and employ the Twelve Principles of Problem Solving -- simple troubleshooting techniques for everyday situations. Avoid, or remedy, accidental parenting -- inadvertent adult behavior that often leads to such common parenting challenges as sleep problems, poor eating habits, separation anxiety, and tantrums
. Be a P.C. parent -- patient and conscious -- who knows how to detect prime times -- windows of opportunity for teaching babies how to get to sleep on their own, introducing bottles to breast-fed babies, toilet training, and other growth issues
. Inhibit runaway emotions and foster his or her emotional fitness -- the ability to understand and manage feelings
...and so much more. For Tracy's fans, this book will be a welcome addition to the Hogg library; for readers unfamiliar with her philosophy of care, it will open a new world of understanding and insight.
