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

I didnt know that calming your baby could be easily solved by knowing a few tricks like those. i recommend this video to all future moms. good luck. maya

It was good for me to stop my baby from crying.. Not amazing, but gives some pretty good tips..

This is a very exciting video to watch, especially as you see Dr. Karp almost instantly calming a baby down. It is nice and short, which is great since parents have so much to do with a newborn. It reviews the six S's, and I'd have to say that swaddling all night long has instantly helped my baby sleep longer automatically. I used to keep his arms out because he initally fights being swaddled, but as Dr. Karp says, this is normal. His little hands would wake him up when he'd get startled during sleep, and the swadding has really helped. The loud shushing also immediatly calms down my baby (when he is not hungry or has a dirty diaper of course).The swinging is also great and my baby will take naps in his Graco Sweet Peace Swing during the day, plus with the swing's vibrating option, it adds to the jiggle part that Dr. Karp talks about. My baby does prefer the tummy to tummy hold, although I tried the tummy to back hold several times as Dr. Karp shows on the video. As for the Sucking way to soothe your baby, I would suggest just giving your baby a pacifier to suck on instead of your breast if you are breast feeding(assuming he's not hungry). Although it would be very soothing for him to suck on your breast, I'd suggest not getting him accustomed to sleeping on it if you don't want him to live on your breast! The only down side of the video would be that you really don't need to watch the video many times once you know how to do the S's, so you may consider renting it or borrowing it from a friend. This is the only reason I would give it 4 stars.

Here's the deal people... A friend who worked at a day care center referred this "system" to me.

Basically this stuff is voodoo, it works so well, that you can't not have it. The DVD is pretty short, but it's worth every penny...

My child is actually very calm and collected, but for those times when nothing seems to work, it calms him down instantaneously... So if you have a child that won't ever calm, this may save your life...

This DVD gave my husband and I the tools needed to calm our colicky baby and get him to sleep. It is a must have for new moms.
