 - We LOVED this dvdI 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. Rating: - Happiest Baby on the BlockThis 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. Rating: - Absolute must for all parents!The tips in this video really work and allow you and your husband to sleep extra hours every night! Our daughter is 2weeks old and is very good natured but would get fussy some times. The calming reflex and 5 S's are the perfect parenting-for-newborn tools. Frankly I'm disappointed that the lessons aren't taught in the hospital before coming home since they're so basic and work like a charm! Rating: - baby kryptonite!Our pediatrician suggested we get this video and we are happy we did. The techniques demonstrated in "The Happiest Baby on the Block" work! Our little fuss pot can get really wound up but the swaddling, swinging, shushing, and sucking combo knock him out. Our 4 week old baby calms right down with the shushing and sleeps better and longer swaddled. It was particularly helpful to see just how loud and vigorously the swinging and shushing needs to be to have the desired effect. Rating: - I Could KISS DR. Karp!Thanks to a childcare class at our hospital, we discovered the techniques of Dr. Karp. As excited parents-to-be we diligently watched the DVD and thought, we'll see. Watching the video, the babies had this magically calm look on their faces once Dr. Karp did his 5 "S"es. We figured this was some good editing...of course they would only show the situations where it worked. When our daughter was born last October, we couldn't get her to stop crying in the hospital. She was fed, changed and warm. What could it be? The we remembered Dr. Karp's 5 "S"es and (amazingly) our daughter magically stopped crying just like the babies in the video. It worked! We have recommend this to every parent-to-be that we know. My husband even gave a pregnant waitress an extra $20 on her tip with a note ordering her to spend it on this DVD!! Thank you Dr. Karp for figuring this out. While I cannot say that our baby never cried, you saved us many moments of frustration. We can't wait to check out the Happiest Toddler on the Block DVD.
