As a result, he is forced to cope with such looks and reactions though he understandably still doesn’t like experiencing them.

I borrowed the book from the library, and honestly it was useless- I did copy the chart onto my desktop (just google 'wonder weeks chart') and it kind of corresponds to my little one. As far as tools, it didn't say anything I didn't already know- hold your baby, let them know you are there for them.well duh.' Comfort your baby' no kidding- thanks Experts LOL. The chart is interesting though, sometimes when lo is a bit off, I look at the chart and go 'oh, its one of those weeks'- I wouldn't t waste $$ on the book though. You can get some info online too if you want to check it out. The book- I love it. It tells about what developmental changes they`re going through at that specific week and explains that brain development goes from date of conception not from actual date of birth.
Explains what temperment changes to expect and why, and how you can help them to feel comforted through the fussy periods. Also tells what games you can do with them to help them learn new things easier, bc during each wonder week they are learning new things and able to see things differently. Honestly, i ordered the book for 25 bucks on amazon and for only 25 bucks it`s worth it. It`s just a chapter for each wonder week and there are 10 that it covers. You`ve only missed reading about 5 & 8, but trust me if you get the book and look back on them you`ll go OH wow. When my guy was 6 weeks old (5 weeks corrected) he ate like a cow the one day, but really just seemed to want the nipple/comfort, and he was abnormally cranky the whole day. When i got the book a week later and read about the 5 week growth spurt it all totally made sense.
I don't really know what you'll think of it but i found it handy and interesting to know.
