Welcome to Calm Your Fussy Baby!

If you have a colicky or fussy baby in your life, you know that "frustrating," "overwhelming," and "hopeless" only begin to describe what you feel from day to day.

I know how you feel because I was there. (Read about my experiences in the "One Mom's Story" post.) I also happen to be a freelance health information writer, on contract with a major medical institution based in Minnesota.

My experiences spurred me to action to write "50 Ways to Calm Your Fussy Baby," a book designed to help make life easier (and quieter!) for families with fussy or colicky babies. You can learn more about this book at www.myfussybaby.com. (The Web site will be live by mid-December.)

My experience as a mother of fussy babies and a healthcare information writer also led me to create this blog, which is designed to help YOU find the best ways to calm and quiet the fussy baby in your life.

New tips will be posted regularly. In addition to tips for calming the fussy baby in your life, you'll find tips for calming yourself -- and advice for getting through this difficult time with your sanity intact.

So welcome! I'm glad to have you along for the ride!
