Title: A must have for all soon-to-be parents
Review: If you only read one baby book, read this one! I found out about this book when my son was about 1 month old. I wish I had found out about it before he was born. My husband and I both read this and found it indispensable. It helps explain why newborns do what they do and what it all means. It basically explains that the first 3 months of a newborn's life is actually the "fourth trimester." You can use the "5 S's" to help mimic life in the womb which helps baby transition to life outside of the womb. The first 6 weeks with our son was awful--in part because we didn't understand what he needed. He is now 10 weeks old and life is so good! I attribute it to 1) he's getting a little older, 2) THIS BOOK!, and 3) the Woombie. If you have a baby that resists swaddling, I highly recommend the Woombie. The Happiest Baby on the Block explains why swaddling is so important during the first 3 months. Buy this book and the Woombie and you'll be good to go!
