Happiest Baby On the Block
This book helped me with everything from sleep to crying. The 5 S’s. My girl-friend lent it to me when our girls were 3 or 4 months old. I remember watching her swinging her daughter and thinking she was nuts, until I read it and tried it and got it. The babies like the movement.
Anyway, while the first chapter gets a little weird digging into a theory of the last or 4th trimester, strongly suggest you persevere and read about and then employ the 5 s’s - swaddling, side/stomach position, shhh sounds, swinging and sucking. It works.

This is a great book! My prenatal coach recommended it and I will swear by its pages.
Another great book for expectant moms is a ‘Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy’ by Vicki Iovine. Total sanity lifesaver and helps you understand that you’re not the only one.
