Nicknamed "the Baby Whisperer" by clients because of her uncanny ability to calm infants, Britain's baby expert Tracy Hogg offers her unique infant communication approach in this 74-minute program geared primarily to parents of newborns. With more than 25 years of experience as a registered nurse, lactation consultant, and childcare instructor, Hogg shares her no-nonsense advice with quiet authority in a soothing, reassuring manner. Two dozen short segments or "scenes" cover a myriad of baby basics such as feeding, swaddling, and sleep issues. Interspersed are several Q&A sessions that "listen in" on Hogg's real-life parent support groups as a handful of fledging mums and dads ask pertinent questions and wait for Hogg's brief yet satisfactory answers. For visual learners, the film is an excellent tutorial offering step-by-step diapering, breastfeeding, and bathing techniques. It tries to cover many subjects well enough to help first-time parents gain confidence and perspective. For more comprehensive coverage of typical infant problems (excessive crying, sleepless nights, etc.) and their solutions, Hogg's book is recommended as a complementary companion. --Lynn Gibson
Description
In this groundbreaking Video, Tracey Hogg concentrates her vast knowledge (and huge dose of common sense) into simple, accessible programs that parents can begin after the baby is born. Reassuring, down-to-earth, and often flying in the face of conventional wisdom, "The Baby Whisperer" promises parents not only a healthier, happier baby but a more relaxed and happy household as well.

 Read the book instead December 7, 2002
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
While Tracey Hogg has some wonderful advice in her book - of the same title - about how to interact with your newborn, the video seems to gloss right it. It seemed like whole chapters were presented in mere minutes and important sections were left out. Plus, the sections that featured questions from real parents seemed canned and corny. All this being said, the book is terrific. Skip the video - read the book instead.
 Forget the DVD April 7, 2004

Forget the DVD, get the book instead. There's no real help in the DVD. In fact, very little of the book is covered in the DVD. It explains the EASY acronym, but no help on how to implement it, what to do if you have problems with it, or even cheezy acted out examples (like they show of a couple coming home from the hospital). It's a terrible DVD. I'm giving it 1 star solely for those who want some VERY basic advice.
Watch before your baby is born October 30, 2002

Purchase before your baby is born. If your baby is already here, don't buy this video, perhaps if you can find the time, the book may be helpful to read. This video details certain topics, but brushes over some of the more important topics like SLEEPING! Tracy Hogg makes a comment about a 2nd video which details things like sleep, however, I've been unable to find that video.
Not Much Here April 17, 2002

We watched this video when our baby was 6 months old. There was virtually nothing here that we hadn't learned before the baby's birth by taking classes or reading books. Only mildly interesting and helpful thing was advice on burping a baby. I found her EASY and SLOW acronyms simplistic and not very useful, as were her classifications of the "five types of babies." What good does it to do call your baby "spirited," "grumpy" or an "angel baby"? Her advice for a parent asking about a baby who cries a lot: it doesn't hurt him, it opens up his tear ducts. Sheesh. Finally, one would think with all her celebrity clients she could've gotten a few people who could act to be on this video. Even though they're "real people," the acting is painful.
 Only for expecting parents or parents of a newborn! July 20, 2002

I wish this had existed when my baby was on her way because she was a few months old by the time this DVD came out. Great help for parents wanting to know how to calm their baby, change their baby, and other basic care. Not so great for parents of slightly older babies who have already been doing these things for quite a while. Good baby shower gift for someone.
