Excellent submitted by TLW1998 on July 28, 2019, 7:49pm A must read for new parents... the 5 S’s are helpful.

Informative submitted by czadams on August 28, 2022, 6:26pm I love this author. I am an occupational therapist (OT) and I recommend this author a lot! Some very helpful tips.

Try the DVD or the book submitted by robinpollak on July 12, 2023, 12:47pm If you're having challenges soothing a newborn, I definitely recommend checking out either the DVD or this book. The title just refers to strategies to stop crying.
