110 Ways to Calm the Crying
Pinky McKay
Pinky McKay author of the
popular Parenting by Heart has now written a companion volume for
the early years.
Although every child is
different, as you get to know your baby you may be desperate to understand
why your baby is crying so much of the time and what you should do
about it. Each chapter in this new book deals with a different aspect of
crying. There are plenty of tips to help a despairing parent and it is
easy to find your way to the particular dilemma which is causing you
concern, even with a fretful baby in your arms.
I like the tone of Pinky’s
books, and certainly recommend this one to any parent. Keep it by your
bedside for emergencies! As a grandmother, I am delighted to see that ‘swaddling’
is back in fashion. All my babies were like mummies for the first weeks of
their lives!
Here is a quote which gives
the tone of 100 ways to calm the crying: ‘As you sit and rock
your baby, instead of becoming restless about unfinished "work",
look deeply into those trusting navy-blue eyes and ask yourself how much
these things would matter if your child were taken from you tomorrow.’No
one could say it more clearly than that!
