I get the impression that Schore's research is tied into a lot of what is gathered up under the label of "attachment" parenting -- which includes, but is not limited to (I'm summarizing here):
- breastfeeding
- co-sleeping and/or responding quickly when baby cries
- "wearing" or simply carrying baby frequently
- following baby's lead rather than trying to follow a specific developmental timetable
- massaging baby
- communicating unconditional love

One of the big names in attachment-parenting writing is the Sears family. I will tell you that a friend of mine loaned me two Sears books and I don't love them --... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (PrincessVespa) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/sreply/7511 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:57:35 PST http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/reply/7498/t/Irrational-fears-and-self-soothing-for-babies.html#reply-7498 feeds@kickapps.com (Capt Tom Bunn MSW LCSW) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/sreply/7498 Sat, 26 Sep 2009 09:19:35 PST http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/reply/7496/t/Irrational-fears-and-self-soothing-for-babies.html#reply-7496
We read a book by Harvey Karp, MD called The Happiest Baby on the Block. In it he talks about the first 3-4 months being the "Fourth Trimester."

Do you have any knowledge of this book? Any thoughts?

Sorry to be a bother, but we're trying to do everything possible to give our boy the best emotional chance in the future.

Thanks in advance. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (OneAnt) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/sreply/7496 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 20:16:20 PST http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/reply/7495/t/Irrational-fears-and-self-soothing-for-babies.html#reply-7495 http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200007/raising-baby-what-you-need-know

My wife and I are expecting a baby in about 9 weeks. Both of us have irrational fears: mine is/was flying, and hers is needles. She's a fainter. I had to see it with my own eyes several years ago to believe it; she turns a putrid shade of green, gets cold sweats, and browns out.

Much to our, especially her, dismay, she was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes about a week ago. The OBGYN recommendation was a restricted carb diet--we saw a nutrionist--and she has to check her blood 4x daily. More needles!!

We've both read a few books on baby stuff, one of which is called The Happiest Baby On The Block. It's primarily about soothing infants in what the author calls the "fourth trimester."

Our boy will be flying with me from about a month on--all of our family members... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (OneAnt) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/topic/2121 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 21:47:33 PST
