Slightly off topic, for the new parents - this book could save your marriage and health - it transformed our screaming son into a normal, happy baby!
“babies cry a lot for the first several months.”
We were far away from home and family when our first child was born. Only place he would sleep was at the bowling alley, while riding in the car or right in the middle of our only bed which was actually a sleeper sofa. Otherwise you could forget it.
After walking the floor with him for a while and reading Dr. Spock enough times that I had it memorized, I decided to give him some really thinned down rice cereal before his bottle. After about two days he started going to sleep at 6 p.m. and sleeping straight through until 6 a.m. the next morning. Little guy was just hungry.
He’s now 50 but still gets really grumpy when he’s hungry. There is no one magic formula that fits all.
