The Baby Whisperer

I wish I had this 11 years ago since my first child was born. I was given advices here and there when they didn't really work for me and my babies. Tracy Hogg was really intuned with the babies. She opened up my eyes and clearly explained the baby's world after birth and so on like how relatives and friends should properly meet the baby for the first time. Plus, when moms and dads are sleep deprived, we only see our own view of how things should be with the baby, when we should take a step back and hear what the baby is really saying to us. The more we get intuned with our baby, the better. It also talked about what's healthy and what's right for you and your baby. It's not a one size fits all, all babies are unique and it's up to us parents to find out the characteristics of our own baby...so it's a must see DVD for parents along with everyone who wants to be part of the baby's life, grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends.... really everyone! If the babies were to write a book, this is it! Have fun with your baby!

This video is a "must have" for first-time parents. My husband and I are expecting our first child in June 2002. Everywhere we go we get advice from people--sometimes conflicting advice. This video contained the most sound advice we've received so far. The video was engrossing. We enjoyed it, and we plan to buy Hogg's series of books and tapes. We will probably watch this video again when we get closer to our due date. Even experienced parents may garner an "a ha" moment from this tape. The value we gained from this tape is worth every cent we invested to buy it.

I'll join in with the other reviewers who recommend the book over the dvd.Very rudimentary information and hardly complements the books. I watched a portion of it before the cheesy acting and simplistic advice wore me down! It went to the thrift store about two days after we received it!If you have ZERO experience with babies, then you may find this dvd of some value... still, the book is sooo much better!Avoid it.

We found this DVD to be a waste of time...it might have been better for us if we had watched it before we had our baby. Much of the content focuses on changing diapers, and other basic baby things. We were looking for help with sleep training and the baby routine (which is included in Tracy Hoggs book), not how to give a baby a bath.

My blood boils to see a parent or guardian pull the hair if a child because he/she "does not listen". Well, who I wants to hear a shrieks, shouting voice. A child would get closer to you to hear what you're whispering...

I finally got to see the shuuhhss method! But you still need to read the whole book, too many parts are missing. Too bad there are no more sequels...

Not worked for my baby except some general knowledge tips.

My husband and I thought the DVD would be a great "Cliff's Notes" version of the books...wrong. Terribly short and not really informative. Guess we just have to do it the old way and actually read the books!

As you may know, being a new mom means not a lot of time to read, I was hoping the DVD would give me more step by step info like the book but it is very basic...you still need to read the book to implement her strategies. Not really worth it in my view

This DVD is good for you if you like being spoken to in a patronising manner by someone (Tracy, who I think was great) I get the impression it is for the American market as she speaks in an annoying half English/American accent.Good DVD if you have never seen or held a baby and have NO idea what to do with one. However this DVD taught me nothing!
