"A fascinating look at how we are neurologically 'programmed' to think, feel, and act like our parents.

With constant feedings, teary outbursts, and trying to help your baby sleep through the night, it's no wonder that parents of babies and young children feel overwhelmed. Yet eye-opening neuroscientific research shows that your stress directly affects your child's mood, behavior, and health. The good news is that calm mamas have calmer, happier babies who usually feed and sleep better, too.
Drawing on their experience in nearly two decades of working with parents in Hollywood and around the globe, Derek O'Neill and Jennifer Waldburger give parents practical tools for choosing calm over stress no matter what is happening with their child. For any mom who's ever said, "I wish my baby came with instructions," Calm Mama, Happy Baby offers a step-by-step approach for helping you parent intuitively, with confidence.
• Discover the negative habits that cause stress and zap your energy
• Learn how to understand your baby's communication on all levels
• Defuse any parenting situation, from feeding problems and sleep disruptions to separation anxiety, fussiness, and colic
• Explore why becoming a parent brings up unresolved fears and insecurities—and how to put them to rest.
When mama is happy, your child is happy, too—and the entire household thrives.

You know I wish I would have had this book when my kids were babies. It is very hard as a parent to keep calm with a new baby when you feel frazzled and tired and lost. There is alot of helpful advice and steps on how to promote calm. By doing this we can stress our babies less. If you actually take this advice and use it, while it might seem crazy at the time, it is helpful.
Plus it doesn't just work for babies. I use this with my toddler and little boys to help us have a calmer house.
