The first part of the book will answer the questions:
Why do babies cry?
What is colic and how can you tell if your baby has it?
Why are gas pains, anxiety, immaturity, and temperament
rarely the causes of colic?
What is the missing fourth trimester and why is it the true
cause of colic?
The second part of the book will discuss:
The calming reflex and how to trigger it by imitating the
uterus
The 5 “S’s” and why they must be done vigorously to be
effective

swaddling, side/stomach position, shushing, swinging, and
sucking

“S’s,” and the Cuddle, you will be able to prevent countless hours of

will be found only in dictionaries.

person can ever have—the birth of a baby. It’s an exciting ride, so strap
yourself in … and enjoy. Please don’t worry when your baby cries.

Main Points:
The Crying Reflex: Your baby’s brilliant attention-getting tool
How a baby’s crying can make you feel
Do different baby cries have different meanings? Some babies
scream even for little problems
At delivery, your baby’s powerful wails are a welcome sign that you’ve
given birth to a healthy child. However, if after the first week or two
your infant continues to scream, his crying may become the last thing
you want to hear! But we should be grateful for our babies’ crying—it’s
one of their most wonderful abilities.
During the first few months of life, your baby will have no problem
getting by without the foggiest idea of how to smile or talk, but he
would be in terrible danger if he couldn’t call out to you. Getting your
attention is so important that your newborn can cry from the moment
his head pops out of you. This great ability is called the “crying reflex.”
