Book Reviews of The Aware Baby
Book Review: A Most Wonderful Book
Summary: 4 Stars
This book, and the ideas expressed in Solter's other books are so helpful and freeing to parents. I discovered her books when I had my third child. My third child has grown up so much happier due to the idea that crying has its purpose, and if allowed to cry in the safe arms of a loving parent, they will not build up the pent up emotions so many of us deal with.
The ideas in this book deserve 5 stars. I gave the book four stars because I feel that it took me a number of times reading through it, trusting in my gut that some of the ideas I was not sure about would work, and finally, after living it, fully understanding the principles. I wish that these ideas could be expressed better. I think that is why some people may not try it. The idea of letting their baby cry, or overnursing doesn't quite make sense. For me, it was only by the doing of these principles that I finally got it. You are truly listening to your baby, and responding to ALL of their needs. You will sometimes make a mistake, but that is life, and part of the learning process. The mistakes help you know what not to do. It can be scary to see your baby crying, and all you may want to do is hush them up (because if they aren't crying, they aren't hurting, right? WRONG!). Love them enough to let them cry. Hold them gently and listen. Tell them they will feel better after the sad and angries are out. Tell them you know life can be a hard place, but you trust that they will do wonderful. Tell them you love them!
I wish every parent lived by this book.
