The Child I Wanted So Badly is Driving Me Crazy

How to understand babies and not lose your head

At the latest after the first weeks with their new baby, many young parents realize how challenging life with the new family member really is. The experienced and bestselling authors Danielle Graf and Katja Seide know all about the magic of the first months—but also how crazy the little creature, dearly loved though it is, can drive its parents.
Alert to the needs of the child and to the parents’ feelings, often funny and always affectionate, the authors help to understand what makes babies tick, what they need in specific situations, and how parents can understand babies without losing their head. They explain why the most important thing in these first months of life is for babies to develop basic trust and build an intensive bond with their parents. Small things can often have a big effect, which is why the book also contains a wealth of practical tips, e.g., on sleep, nutrition, and health, all tested by the authors themselves and by the readers of their popular blog.
If you know the basics for the first months of your child’s life, you can relax and grow into your new role as a parent!

»How do I know what my baby’s needs are right now, this minute? When it cries, what exactly does it want? What does it need from us as its parents? Looking back at our own experiences, we realized how we made the first months with our babies needlessly difficult for ourselves because we lacked a lot of background knowledge. We wrote this book to help our readers be better prepared.« – Danielle Graf and Katja Seide
