About the book
Secrets of the Baby Whisperer, written by Tracy Hogg with Melinda Blau, is a guide for new parents through the first year of an infant's life. Its central idea is a flexible daily rhythm, started very early, in which eating leads to activity and activity leads to sleep. The baby's needs shape this pattern, rather than a timetable imposed by adults. On sleep, the author wants children to learn to settle in their own beds and soothe themselves, with parental help tapering off. She positions this between leaving babies to cry and sharing the parents' bed, urging parents to interpret cries and respond fittingly.
