I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Harvey Karp live at a speaking engagement recently. I am a huge fan of his work and I am amazed at this man's gift and talent for tapping into the psyche of babies and comforting them in such a unique and profound way. If you are having any type of difficulty with calming your baby then I highly recommend this DVD (or book). It shows you exactly how to make your baby comfortable and quiet. It also explains why these techniques work and what you can do for immediate results. I used this book everyday for the first month my baby was born. He was, and still is a fussy baby, but Dr. Karp's methods work every single time. If you do watch this DVD or read the book, then I also recommend buying Dr. Karp's CD of soothing, calming baby sounds. My baby boy loves these sounds and they put him to sleep instantly. Good luck!!Read full review
Every new parent (and baby) would benefit from the five S's. Dr. Karp does a great job explaining and demonstrating how to make your newborn happy.

I bought this DVD for a friend after having used it myself with my newborn children. The time-tested calming techniques demonstrated in the short film parallel those in the book with the same title. However, those with newborns are often short on time and a 20 minute DVD might be easier than reading the whole book for those who prefer that method. Additionally, the swaddling idea not only prepares the infants for calming, but can help them sleep longer from the very beginning! We used something called a Miracle Blanket (check out their website) with our babies and found that once the baby was calm, the swaddling could help extend their naptimes from 20 min to 45 in the beginning and nighttime sleep stretches from 2 hours to 5 or later, from 4 to 7!) Definitely check it out if you are looking for ways to calm a crying baby and keep them soothed.Read full review
