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
Exact instructions to help you become an expert at swaddling, side/stomach position, shushing, swinging, and sucking
The Cuddle Cure and how you can work wonders by doing all 5 “S’s” together
Other techniques that can help you soothe your fussy baby
Tricks and tips to get your baby to sleep more at night
Medical problems that can mimic colic
Once you understand your baby’s need for a fourth trimester, the 5 “S’s,” and the Cuddle, you will be able to prevent countless hours of screaming. It is my sincere hope that once this knowledge is shared, colic will be found only in dictionaries.
