OMFG...most amazing book evah!
So, yeah, if I know that you are having a baby (whoever "you" is), you are totally getting this book from me. I wish I had had it right from the beginning. I bought it from Target yesterday and I have had a pretty content baby since I read it.
Of course, I did change his formula back, so that is probably a contributing factor as well.
But, the book has a really great method for calming colicky, fussy babies, which works even for my mildly colicky baby. The basic theory is that babies, due to having to have a large head to contain a large brain to survive infancy, are born about three months too early and have to go through this period of the "fourth trimester". They aren't really ready to live outside the womb, but if we were preggo 12 months instead of 9, babies wouldn't fit through the pelvic opening because of their heads. It's a squeeze at 9 months, you know? So, the whole idea to surviving the first 12 weeks with any baby is to imitate the womb as much as possible, after their other needs are met (eating, changing, etc.).
I have to re-read my copy of the book, because I just sped through it yesterday afternoon, getting the main points. Now, I have to go back and gleen the finer details. However, right now, it's 1:15am, so I should probably go back to sleep.

That was very popular at the library. Also a book about potty training by age 2, which sounds pretty scary to me. Yay books!!
