Every parent has been there at one time or another. At one point in the day, your baby was happy just to play with her toes and watch the world. Now, she's crying non-stop, and nothing you do makes her happy. It's hard to see the forest for the trees when you're too close to the situation. What's wrong with her? In Dr. Taubman's book, Why is My Baby Crying?, he maps out a sensible approach to determining patterns and possible reasons why your little one is inconsolable.

By keeping a diary of the baby's activities (diaries provided in the book), such as sleeping, eating, crying, being bathed, etc..., oftentimes a pattern emerges. And learning to interpret the sound of the cry also serves to teach parents how to soothe the baby.

Dr. Taubman has put together a practical and smart approach to soothing an upset child in just a few easy steps. I highly recommend this book to parents, or as a gift for someone in your life who is expecting a baby.
