Description:

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
