In perhaps the most important parenting book of the decade, Dr. Harvey Karp reveals an extraordinary treasure sought by parents for centuries—an automatic “off-switch” for their baby’s crying.No wonder pediatricians across the country are praising him and thousands of Los Angeles parents, from working moms to superstars like Madonna and Pierce Brosnan, have turned to him to learn the secrets for making babies happy.Never again will parents have to stand by helpless and frazzled while their poor baby cries and cries. Dr. Karp has found there IS a remedy for colic. “I share with parents techniques known only to the most gifted baby soothers throughout history …and I explain exactly how they work.”In a innovative and thought-provoking reevaluation of early infancy, Dr. Karp blends modern science and ancient wisdom to prove that newborns are not fully ready for the world when they are born. Through his research and experience, he has developed four basic principles that are crucial for understanding babies as well as improving their sleep and soothing their senses:The Missing Fourth Trimester: as odd as it may sound, one of the main reasons babies cry is because they are born three months too soon.The Calming Reflex: the automatic reset switch to stop crying of any baby in the first few months of life.The 5 “S’s”: the simple steps (swaddling, side/stomach position, shushing, swinging and sucking) that trigger the calming reflex. For centuries, parents have tried these methods only to fail because, as with a knee reflex, the calming reflex only works when it is triggered in precisely the right way. Unlike other books that merely list these techniques Dr. Karp teaches parents exactly how to do them, to guide cranky infants to calm and easy babies to serenity in minutes…and help them sleep longer too.The Cuddle Cure: the perfect mix the 5 “S’s” that can soothe even the most colicky of infants.In the book, Dr. Karp also explains:What is colic?Why do most babies get much more upset in the evening?How can a parent calm a baby—in mere minutes?Can babies be spoiled?When should a parent of a crying baby call the doctor?How can a parent get their baby to sleep a few hours longer?Even the most loving moms and dads sometimes feel pushed to the breaking point by their infant’s persistent cries. Coming to the rescue, however, Dr. Karp places in the hands of parents, grandparents, and all childcare givers the tools they need to be able to calm their babies almost as easily as…turning off a light.

Not such a great book
The 5 things he writes are great, ones we've used for generations. So glad they are now written down, but he could have made it into a pamphlet. I think it was deceptive when he said "if you do it correctly"... There's his out to his claim to make babies stop crying. The fact is, some babies cry. Mom's rock, swaddle, sing, use a binky and they still cry, bless their hearts. The devoted and frustrated mom hasn't done anything incorrectly, it's just how some sweet little ones are. And besides, how does he know what the cave-women thought, anyway? I'm shaking my head at how he made so much money by giving so little advice. It's ok for the first few month:
This book is only effective until the baby is ~2-3 months old. My baby was fussy up until ~5 months and I purchased this book when he was 3 months old. He was already too old for the techniques to work. Great book for newborns, though! good read
Good book, I skimmed it for what I needed to deal with my fussy baby. Who isn't really fussy now, it was because he had gas. You MUST Read This Book!
I saw the DVD first and LOVED it! The whole Happiest Baby technique is unbelieveable until you see it with your own eyes. It works, and it is amazing! I followed up by reading the book, which has so much more info than the DVD did. I highly recommend this book and have lent it to several friends. If you are currently having issues with your baby and his/her personal fussy time, you should start with the DVD to get immediate help. If you are pregnant and want to be prepared on day 1, get the DVD and the book. You won't regret it! good book
This is a good book. The techniques work very well to help calm my 9 week old. |
