Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perfect for expecting parents who want to provide a soothing home for the newest member of their family, The Happiest Baby on the Block, the national bestseller by respected pediatrician and child development expert Dr. Harvey Karp, is a revolutionary method for calming a crying infant and promoting healthy sleep from day one. In perhaps the most important parenting book of the decade, Dr. Harvey Karp reveals an extraordinary treasure sought by parents for centuries --an automatic “off-switch” for their baby’s crying. No wonder pediatricians across the country are praising him and thousands of Los Angeles parents, from working moms to superstars like Madonna and Pierce Brosnan, have turned to him to learn the secrets for making babies happy. Never again will parents have to stand by helpless and frazzled while their poor baby cries and cries. Dr. Karp has found there IS a remedy for colic. “I share with parents techniques known only to the most gifted baby soothers throughout history …and I explain exactly how they work.” In a innovative and thought-provoking reevaluation of early infancy, Dr. Karp blends modern science and ancient wisdom to prove that newborns are not fully ready for the world when they are born. Through his research and experience, he has developed four basic principles that are crucial for understanding babies as well as improving their sleep and soothing their senses: ·The Missing Fourth Trimester: as odd as it may sound, one of the main reasons babies cry is because they are born three months too soon. ·The Calming Reflex: the automatic reset switch to stop crying of any baby in the first few months of life. ·The 5 “S’s”: the simple steps (swaddling, side/stomach position, shushing, swinging and sucking) that trigger the calming reflex. For centuries, parents have tried these methods only to fail because, as with a knee reflex, the calming reflex only works when it is triggered in precisely the right way. Unlike other books that merely list these techniques Dr. Karp teaches parents exactly how to do them, to guide cranky infants to calm and easy babies to serenity in minutes…and help them sleep longer too. ·The Cuddle Cure: the perfect mix the 5 “S’s” that can soothe even the most colicky of infants. In the book, Dr. Karp also explains: What is colic? Why do most babies get much more upset in the evening? How can a parent calm a baby--in mere minutes? Can babies be spoiled? When should a parent of a crying baby call the doctor? How can a parent get their baby to sleep a few hours longer? Even the most loving moms and dads sometimes feel pushed to the breaking point by their infant’s persistent cries. Coming to the rescue, however, Dr. Karp places in the hands of parents, grandparents, and all childcare givers the tools they need to be able to calm their babies almost as easily as…turning off a light.

Download or read book How Babies Sleep written by Sofia Axelrod and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the best baby sleep method—gentle, science-backed, and inspired by the latest Nobel Prize–winning research—that shows you how to get your baby to sleep through the night naturally. Sleep—or the lack of it—is one of the most crucial issues for new parents. Newborn babies typically wake every two to three hours, and there’s nothing bleary-eyed, exhausted parents want more than a night of uninterrupted sleep. But while there’s plenty of advice out there, there is nothing that’s based on the latest cutting-edge research about sleep—until now. In How Babies Sleep, Sofia Axelrod, PhD—neuroscientist, sleep consultant, and mother of two—introduces the first baby sleep method that is truly rooted in the science of sleep. After having her first child, Axelrod realized that the typical baby sleep advice conflicted with the actual science of sleep, inlcuding the findings from her mentor’s Nobel Prize–winning sleep lab. She developed her transformative method based on the latest discoveries about our body’s circadian clock and how it is disturbed by light and other external stimuli. After seeing incredible results with her own babies, she has since counseled countless families in her groundbreaking method—which works with babies’ needs and helps little ones learn to self-soothe, fall asleep more easily, and stay asleep through the night. You’ll discover helpful tips that work, and learn: why using a red lightbulb (instead of a regular one) in the nursery at night can minimize wakings; why the age-old advice “don’t wake a sleeping baby” isn’t true; how to create a healthy routine; how to sleep train gently with minimal crying (under two minutes); and so much more in this revolutionary and effective book that will help both you and your baby enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Breastfeeding Can Help You Bond with Your Baby is a short read book that explores the powerful connection between breastfeeding and the bond between a mother and her baby. This book delves into the various ways in which breastfeeding facilitates bonding, from physical contact to emotional synchronization. With its comprehensive table of contents, readers can easily navigate through the different aspects of breastfeeding and bonding. The book begins by discussing the importance of physical contact during breastfeeding. Through skin-to-skin contact, a mother and her baby establish a deep connection that promotes feelings of warmth and security. This physical closeness also triggers the release of hormones, such as oxytocin, which further strengthens the bond between mother and baby. Eye contact is another crucial element explored in this book. When a mother gazes into her baby's eyes while breastfeeding, it creates a profound emotional connection. This eye contact fosters trust and a sense of intimacy between the two, enhancing the bond. Comfort and soothing are also highlighted as significant benefits of breastfeeding. The act of breastfeeding provides both physical and emotional comfort to the baby, creating a safe and nurturing environment. Additionally, the unique scents emitted by the mother during breastfeeding contribute to the baby's sense of security and familiarity. Shared sleep, responsive feeding, and enhanced emotional awareness are other topics covered in this book. These aspects emphasize the importance of being attuned to the baby's needs and responding promptly, which further strengthens the bond between mother and baby. The book also explores the immunological benefits of breastfeeding, highlighting how it helps protect the baby from various illnesses and strengthens their immune system. It emphasizes the mutual dependence between mother and baby, as well as the shared experience of breastfeeding. Throughout the book, readers will also discover the positive reinforcement, soothing touch, emotional availability, and attachment formation that breastfeeding promotes. The mother's voice and shared nourishment are discussed as additional factors that contribute to the bond between mother and baby. With its comprehensive coverage of various aspects of breastfeeding and bonding, How Breastfeeding Can Help You Bond with Your Baby is an essential read for any mother who wants to deepen her connection with her baby.

Download or read book The Adult Baby Identity A Self help Guide written by Dylan Lewis and published by AB Discovery. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowing who we are as individuals is the most important journey in our lives and for many, it is the most difficult one. Even for people we call ‘vanilla’, with no apparent kinks and oddities, it is a herculean task. But when you are an Adult Baby, it is a vastly more complex mission. Add being sissy to the mix and we are already pushing up hill and often, failing miserably. But if we don’t know who we are, we act as if we are someone we are not. We try to create a personality not fully our own. We create masks and in doing so, we create problems for ourselves and others around us. This is the true value of books like this and others along the same vein. ABDL is not like other identity problems. It is unique, different and requires a perspective all of its own. It is not about gender – although gender issues can be involved. It is not about sexual preference – although that can be involved as well. It is primarily about age, and being powerfully driven back to a time of life most have left behind and yet, we still literally inhabit. We don't wear diapers for no reason. We don't play with baby toys just for something to do. We do it because part of our identity mix is that of an infant.
