You are walking the floor with a crying baby. Tears are streaming down your face. Why can't I comfort my baby? you wonder. Is my baby sick or hungry again? Why am I crying as well?

Along the way, Pink McKay offers gentle strategies to help you calm and connect with your baby, practical tips to help you cope with crying and sleepless nights, and ways to identify symptoms that may require professional help.

Listen to your baby. Listen to your heart. Trust the connection between you.
