“Our research has shown that from time to time all parents are plagued by a baby who won’s stop crying. In fact, we found that, surprisingly, all normal, healthy babies are more tearful, troublesome, demanding, and fussy at the same ages, and when this occurs they may drive the entire household to despair.”
–Introduction to the Wonder Weeks by Hetty van de Rijt, Ph.D., and Frans Plooij, Ph.D.
I am absolutely loving this book right now! It’s a breath of fresh air for parents of babies who are trying to keep up with and make sense of the constant changes their young ones are going through. At the same time, the book completely eliminates the guilt/blame trap parents can fall into during the difficult times. My parental self esteem has just been raised a notch.
