<< I also discuss how babies whose mothers attend to their first frets
 and sounds    usually have babies who scream less intense and for shorter
 periods because those babies learn they don't have to scream that mom will
 respond to quieter calls for attention.<<

 This is great! Though obviously a "fact" that we all know in our hearts, is
 there something published out there that describes this? I would love to read
 it, if just for the perspective! >>

Read "The Vital Touch" by Sharon Heller -- fabulous (read w/ highlighter in
hand!!) and/or (preferably AND) Our BAbies Ourselves by Meredith Small.
Personally, I think both books should be REQUIRED reading for any new parent,
though they aren't written for parents.
