Sounds For Silence
‘Sounds for Silence Baby Settling and Health Guide’ – now in its 2nd edition, is a comprehensive and practical book containing over 100 pages of advice for parents on baby settling strategies, managing irritability, and infant health issues. Dr Harry Zehnwirth reassures that parents are not alone in an empathetic and sometimes humorous way.
Evolving from a perceived need in the community, Dr Zehnwirth identified that the two most common problems experienced by new parents and babies are infant irritability and sleep difficulties. Sound for Silence CD and Health Guide Package, are based on Dr Zehnwirth’s over 20 years of Paediatric experience and provide a modern solution to the age-old problem of soothing unsettled babies. It also is based on Dr Zehnwirth’s knowledge that lullabies (and soft, ambient music) do not work to settle crying babies.
Looking for a practical answer, he realised the enormous benefits of using different sounds to settle babies. Not gentle lullabies that many expect, but the harsher sounds of our every day lives, the rhythmic patterns of continuous sounds. He blended and combined daily sounds, the background noises from the domestic environment layered with maternal physiological sounds, rather like sounds mimicking the womb and found they effectively distracted, engaged and soothed unsettled infants.
Sounds for Silence has been featured on A Current Affair, Sunrise, and Channel 7 News.

Famous quotes containing the words sounds and/or silence:
“We may say that feelings have two kinds of intensity. One is the intensity of the feeling itself, by which loud sounds are distinguished from faint ones, luminous colors from dark ones, highly chromatic colors from almost neutral tints, etc. The other is the intensity of consciousness that lays hold of the feeling, which makes the ticking of a watch actually heard infinitely more vivid than a cannon shot remembered to have been heard a few minutes ago.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought. Repression in history leads to conciseness in the historian, and the rocklike hardness of much celebrated prose is due to the tempering of the tyrant.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
