Rating: - A toolbox for calming your infant in addition to feed/change/burp
Useful tools particularly for new parents. Dr. Harvey Karp steps through 5 techniques that can be used singly or in combinations to help calm your child. Karp's brand of Swaddling works most consistently for us particularly for at least one sleep period per night. Alternating this with the use of a Grobag (http://www.grobag.com/) has proved successful in keeping our little guy asleep until he needs to eat.
Grit your teeth an ignore the cheesy music. It's worth trying these, or combinations of these, to comfort your wee one. Is she hungry? Does he need changing? Does she have gas? Yes or No, try the 5 S's where appropriate.

Rating: - MUST HAVE FOR PARENTS!!!
Buy this DVD for yourself and anyone else you know who has a baby or is pregnant!! Dr. Karp is amazing! I went from feeling like an overwhelmed, unprepared new mom to a mom who could handle having a newborn. It was a wonderful feeling to actually have a way to quiet my baby.

My husband and I started this when our baby was about 5 weeks and it was a miracle!! He actually went down for naps and nighttime sleep with minimal frustration. This is seriously a lifesaving DVD. I have made this my gift for all baby showers. I give a copy of "Happiest Baby", The First Years swaddling blankets and a pack of Soothies pacifiers....the best sleep kit ever!!

Rating: - I have bought this for all my new parent friends
When we brought our new baby boy home we didn't think he was crying that much...we just figured that's what babies do. When our nurse came over to show us the happiest baby techniques it was like a magic show! He was a little fussy at the time, probably because he was ready for one of his many naps, and she performed the shoosh, shake, swaddle, and side calming method and he was out like a light in the few minutes it took her to just chit chat with us. As a gift she left us the DVD and CD. Life savers! My son is now 3 months old, pushing 4 and the techniques still work! The swaddling was a life saver! He startles in his sleep which invariably wakes him up. If it weren't for the swaddle neither of us would get any sleep! I've given this DVD to my sister who is due any day and my cousin who just had her baby boy last night!! I wish everyone knew about these methods, they would be so much happier!!

Rating: - A Great Book
As a first time mom I tried to read everything I could about newborns. This book was given to me as a gift, and it could possibly be the best gift I received. My baby was not colicky but did have trouble sleeping through the night and calming down from crying fits. The 5 S solutions were invaluable. He loves to be swaddled, but at 4 1/2 months and 17 lbs he has become to large to even fit in the "swaddle me" wraps. Making the shushing sound when he cries still works and he seems to forget why he was even crying in the first place. A great book when you don't know how to calm your fussy baby and just want a few hours of sleep!
