Postpartum Psychosis
This severe reaction to the physical, emotional, and hormonal
shifts occurring around birth may affect as many as one in one
thousand women (usually within two weeks of delivery).
Typically, these distraught new mothers hear voices and see
things that other people can’t; their statements become
irrational and preoccupied with bizarre trivia; and, they may
refuse to eat and become frantically active and extremely
confused.
Postpartum psychosis is treatable, but it’s an absolute medical
emergency! If you think you or someone you know may be
suffering from this extremely serious condition, seek medical
help immediately.

Dear Reader,
I hope the techniques described in The Happiest Baby on the Block have
been as helpful to you as they have been to so many parents around the
globe.
Before you know it, that tiny newborn you are cradling in your arms will
suddenly blossom into a walking, talking, lightning-fast toddler. Yikes!
As your little one approaches that first birthday, please take a look at my
practical, fun, bestselling book about bigger kids, The Happiest Toddler on
the Block. It will teach you techniques that will help you to calm your
toddler as effectively as you can now calm your baby.
My unique approach to toddlers—who are so silly and sweet that they
are my favorite age group—is the result of combining my quarter
century of experience in pediatric practice with the latest findings on
brain function in children. In The Happiest Toddler, I empower you with
proven tips, tricks, and techniques that will encourage your toddler to
become patient, respectful, and cooperative. This innovative approach
can help you eliminate 50 percent to 90 percent of tantrums in just days!
Needless to say, all toddlers have their good days and their bad ones. But
once you learn how to speak the language of toddlers, you’ll be able to
stop even the biggest meltdowns and soothe even the most hysterical
little child in minutes. In The Happiest Toddler you will find out how to
communicate with your toddler and end tantrums as well as how to set
effective limits and tackle problems ranging from sleep battles to toilet
training, separation fears to biting. Using my revolutionary techniques
such as “the Fast-Food Rule,” “Toddler-ese,” “Time-In,” and “Side Door
Praise,” you too will be able to turn your child’s daily cries of “No!” and
“Don’t!” into a sweet stream of “yeses” and hugs, and to create a calm,
loving environment that will help your child progress through these
challenging years with joy and excitement.
