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

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

I was told to buy the book version of this title from some fellow guy friends of mine since my wife and I were going to have a new addition to the family soon. One of them told me to buy the book and read it, but then buy the DVD and watch it. I STRONGLY suggest doing these in this order. The book describes in great detail the methods prescribed for soothing a crying upset baby, but I (like most men) had to see them work before I believed them. That is where the DVD came in handy. It shows first-hand how to perform the tactics and the babies on the video calm down almost immediately!!! I was still skeptical, but my baby does the same thing as those on the video. The techniques really work and I suggest this video/book to all of my friends who are as clueless as I once was about how to deal with this new thing in the family picture!Read full review
As a New Grandmother... I bought several books and videos for my son and daughter-in-law to help educate them on pregnancy, childbirth and early infant care.

As a father for the second time i found myself to be in more trouble then in the first time. Hearing from a close friend of mine about GERD and Colic babies my newborn had found herself in that state. It pondered me how to deal with it. My friend had told me to try reading the book, but i hate reading, honestly. So i searched for videos. I coincidentally found the DVD on ebay and purchased it right away gave it to my wife as a gift so that she can inherit the task and to my amazement i catched a glimpse of it and have been hooked to it. This DVD teaches parents, new or old, simple technics and tips and tricks on how to cuddle, quite, calm, swaddle, swing your child using the simple five (5) S's. Its really worth trying. best gift i gave myself on dealing and shushing a baby..... Love one happy big daddyRead full review
I bought this dvd for the parents of my two twin grandsons. No one was getting any sleep. This dvd has 5 techniques that are demonstrated and easy to use by anyone. Even for fathers who want to be involved but hand back baby because they cant stop them from fussing. In my family eveyone hands baby over to father. I absolutely recommend this dvd to everyone because it has really helped out. They no longer wake up every two hours like they did. And are a lot calmer.
The advice in this movie/book about how to soothe a newborn is awesome. I used it a ton with my first daughter, who was having trouble nursing. She couldn't keep up with the flow of my milk and would drink air and it would hurt her tummy so bad she would scream and scream about an hour after each feeding. I found out feeding her in a football hold alleviated this, but I just wanted to say these methods can work even when there is a real and obvious reason for the baby's crying.
