Suzanne was worried and exhausted. Her two-month-old
baby, Sean, was a nonstop screamer. He could cry for
hours. One afternoon her sister came to watch the baby,
and Suzanne bolted to the bathroom for a hot shower and
a quick “escape.” Forty-five minutes later she awoke,
curled up in a ball on the blue tile floor, being sprayed
with ice-cold water!
Meanwhile, half a world away in the rugged Kalahari
plains of northern Botswana, Nisa gave birth to a tiny girl
named Chuko. Chuko was thin and delicate but despite
her dainty size, she, too, was a challenging baby who
cried frequently.
Nisa carried Chuko in a leather sling everywhere she
went. Unlike Suzanne, she never worried when Chuko
cried, because like all mothers of the !Kung San tribe, she
knew exactly how to calm her baby’s crying—in seconds.
Why did Suzanne have such trouble soothing Sean’s screams?
What ancient secrets did Nisa know that helped her calm her baby so
easily?
