Book description
Tracy Hogg knows 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.
In this remarkable parenting book, 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. Her methods are also applauded by
scientists: 'Tracy's is a voice that should be heard. She appears very
knowledgeable about modern infant research and has incorporated this
to a level parents can understand. In spite of all the baby how-tos on
the market, this one will stand out.'
Tracy Hogg trained at Great Ormond Street Hospital and continued
her education in midwifery and caring for newborns at St James'
Hospital in Leeds and St Catherine's Hospital, Doncaster. She migrated
to the US in 1993 where her uncanny ability to understand and calm
babies led to her nickname 'The Baby Whisperer'.
