The Happiest Baby on the Block - The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Baby Sleep Longer (DVD)

Here's the synopsis... swaddle your newborn, flip him on his tummy or side in your arms and make a loud shhhhh noise in his ear. That was the hole video. GOOD LUCK!

Being a Mother-Baby nurse, I thought that I had swaddling down pat. I knew swaddling was comforting and did it regularly for my almost 5-week old. Leila is not a fussy baby but occasionally has these tantrums where nothing consoles her. I am breastfeeding also so we were up every two hours to feed. I was at a breaking point - thinking this SUCKS! Am I ever going to sleep more than two hours at a time? Then I got this video last night. Immediately used the SHHH and like magic, she stopped crying. I used the swaddling technique with "arms down" and she slept for three hours, woke to eat, and then slept for four more hours! Dr. Karp's rationales just made sense! I was swaddling incorrectly which is why she was up so often! If her hands get out and she hits herself, she'll wake up. DUH! Wouldn't you? I feel so much more confident and ready to tackle any crying bout she can bring on. Thank you Dr. Karp for making these techniques make sense and teaching an RN some new tricks.

This really worked for us. According to this pediatrician, colic peaks at 6 weeks old but there are some simple things you can do to make your baby happy.

I watched this dvd shortly after my son and I arrived home from the hospital (as recommended by a friend) so I don't know what it's like to have babies scream and scream. My son would start to get fussy and I'd use some or all of the 5 techniques demonstrated in the dvd and he'd calm right down. It really helped to form a very strong bond with my son right from day one. So now this is the first thing I suggest to/give to new moms.

This book taught me techniques to help my husband and I survive the first 6 months of my child's life. My daughter was very needy as a baby, more than other children, I would cry because I was so stressed out from her crying. I just could not take it anymore, until I followed this book...WE FINALLY GOT SLEEP :) now, I'm such a strong believer in swaddling.
