Product Description
Listen! Your baby is telling you something… After nine peaceful months in the womb, the world can be an overwhelming place for a newborn. Like a little sponge, your child will soak in every bit of sensory stimulation presented, whether he wants to or not—everything from the soft cotton of your shirt to the bright lights in the grocery store. Overload, when it happens, means a fussy baby—but in this revolutionary book, occupational therapist Megan Faure and nursing specialist Ann Richardson explain how you can help your newborn cope with his new environment.
This extraordinary guide to your baby’s developing nervous system and his sensory world explains in down-to-earth language how parents can:
Tune in to a baby’s cries and other signals
Respond to a baby’s needs
Prevent colicky late-day crying
Provide the right stimulation—at the right time
Offer positive sensory experiences early on Offering age-appropriate advice on sleeping, eating, and early learning, as well as the basic sensory principles, Baby Sense is the perfect tool for every parent who has every wondered why a baby is crying—and how to soothe him.

Format:Paperback
South African friends of ours recommended this book to us - one of the authors is South African, and apparently no new parent in SA doesn't have a copy of this book.
It's a slim volume that contains everything my wife and I needed to stop from going mad with worry and frustration. The ideas expounded in _Baby Sense_ are essentially fairly simple, though we never felt talked down to, and they've really helped us to understand what's going on for young Joshua.
I can't recommend this book highly enough for new parents who have checked and double-checked, but can't find the manual in the box their baby came in.

This book is different! Unlike regimented books which demand a set schedule, advocating CIO and guilting you into thinking you are failing if you don't meet them. Yet, also avoiding the other extreme of baby-led on demand life that seems to make for exhausted parents!
The authors give some insights into what it feels like to a baby when they are first met by the world and all it entails, how to interect with them clamly, how to make them comfortable and calm. How to help them into a flexible routine that works for you and them.
It is written in South Africa, by an American and South African who both specialise in dealing with 'difficult babies', where it has become staple reading for parents and is constantly recommended by one friend to another. A SA friend of mine let me in the on the secret and recommended it to me! I will be forever grateful for her recommendation, I only hope it finds a place in as many homes here in the UK amongst the must-have baby books, such as the books by Tracy Hogg, The Dr Sears' and Gina Ford have!

Wish I hadn't wasted my money
Generalises too much and doesn't acknowledge that every baby is different, would make you paranoid if you believed it. Very outdated advice considering it was written in 2006. Read more
