  For new parents, a baby's persistent crying can be an exhausting and frustrating experience, one that can produce an overwhelming sense of guilt and anger. Drawing on the experiences of hundreds of new patients, Sheila Kitzinger, author or the bestselling The Complete Book of Pregnancy and Childbirth, offers parents a way to satisfy their baby's needs without lashing out at each other or at well-meaning relatives or professionals.

  In this book the issues involved in the problem of a crying baby are discussed and advice and comfort offered. It describes the reality of the problem - the mother's and father's feelings of guilt, frustration, anger, despair and exhaustion and the impact of other people's professional and personal concern - sometimes helpful, but often not. The effect on a couple's relationship - a mother or father lashing out at the end of their tether, possibly harming the baby - is examined. Advice on interpreting the crying is included.
