Book Cover & Preview Text
Mothers often refer to me as a “baby whisperer.” A baby whisperer is a person with a special ability to intuit what a baby’s needs are, and to help him or her be happy and calm. There are many “baby whisperers” on this planet of ours. I am only one of them. This book is based on research, personal study, and many years of experience, observation, and practice. Most parents learn from just a few babies in their lives. I have been blessed with lessons from thousands. And now, I am excited to share my knowledge and experience with you. What you read about here is amassed from years of scientific research studies as well as my life’s work, experience and joy. I hope you can learn about your special baby by reading this book and, in practicing some of my techniques, create a calmer and happier relationship with your baby.

About the Book
Every new parent has been there—sleep-deprived, exhausted, and pacing the floor at 3:00 a.m. with an irritable baby who is having difficulty calming down and going back to sleep. In Secrets of a Baby Nurse, a medical professional relies on scientific research, personal study, and a lifelong adoration of babies to provide parents with valuable tips that will lead them to discover the delight of a well-rested, tranquil, and happy child—and most importantly, a good night’s sleep for everyone. Marsha Podd, a seasoned maternal-infant nurse and lactation specialist, shares her professional expertise in reading the body language of thousands of babies in order to teach parents how to interpret a baby’s cues, create a perfect sleep environment, and initiate a peaceful detachment. You’ll learn how to ensure a healthy womb environment; encourage a newborn toward daytime wakefulness; build consistent daily rhythms around sleep and food; observe and react to your baby’s signals; avoid postpartum depression; stay in a routine and still have a life outside the home. Secrets of a Baby Nurse offers step-by-step, practical advice that will help any parent create a serene, joy-filled relationship with their child.
