Do you learn better by watching rather than reading? Here is a chance to see how to transport your baby from screaming into serenity...in minutes. Watch as, step-by-step, Dr. Karp teaches new parent how to switch on their baby's powerful calming reflex. English and Spanish In "The Happiest Baby" Dr. Karp reveals a treasure sought by new parents for centuries... the "calming reflex" (the automatic "off-switch? for any baby?s crying). No wonder thousands of Los Angeles parents, from working moms to superstars like Madonna and Michelle Pfeiffer have turned to Dr. Karp to learn his secrets for making babies happy. Elisabeth Bing author and co-founder of Lamaze International "The Happiest Baby on the Block is fun, fascinating and convincing. I highly recommend it to all new parents." (Running time - 38 minutes.) The DVD also contains 3 bonus chapters: 1) Dr. Karp answers 25 questions from parents about calming babies and helping them sleep. 2) A Spanish dubbed audio track of the entire 38 minute teaching video. 3) Three tracks of calming white-noise sound that is an extraordinary mix of womb sounds and a newly designed pulsation that babies love (even though it sounds a little odd to the ears of an adult) Each track can be played individually, played in sequence or repeated for hours to gently guide your baby into a deep level of relaxation. This video is designed in NTSC not PAL or SECAM. It is meant for use in most countries in the Western Hemisphere as well as Japan, South Korea, Greenland, Guam, Samoa, and the Philippines.

Summary: INCREDIBLE!!!!
Comment: A friend had recommended this video before our baby had arrived. We watched it and it looked unbelievable. We have been using Dr. Karp's techniques for 3 weeks now with a newborn, and they really work. We refer to him as the "Baby Whisperer." I would recommend this DVD (or his book) to anyone!

Summary: Life Saver
Comment: Every new parent should have this. We had no idea how to stop our new baby from screaming. I wish we'd had this on our first night home from the hospital instead of waiting until day 6. Although some of these tips are similar to things our moms and grandmas did, Dr. Karp has perfected the techniques and explained what to do, step by step. I'm buying this for every new parent I know from now on.

Summary: A MUST HAVE
Comment: It works!!! It is truly a very good book and DVD, the book having more info than the DVD.It has allowed my daughter to sleep through the night using the techniques, some are forgotten things, like swaddling, and some are new twist on the old ways that worked then and work nOW. One friend had been swaddling but she was always "tied " to her baby, rocking him...the day she got a swing(3 weeks ago) she is still rejoicing and celebrating the freedom to watch her son swing to CD while swaddled and sleeping happily as she fINALLY can make meals and clean house for more than 5minutes at a time and both babies are happier and perkier...they are getting more deep sleep and so is MOM !!!

Summary: I would recommend this to a friend....
Comment: The tips on this DVD do work! With a new baby, I don't have time to read the book, so I was happy when my friend told me about this DVD. My baby doesn't have colic, but she does get fussy, like most babies do and she is our first. We already had a series of things to do when fussy time hits, but now we have 5 more tricks. Anything helps when you are trying to make your little angel happy!

Summary: BEWARE if your child has "loose" hip or dysplasia
Comment: OUr daughter was diagnosed with "loose" hips at birth. We were told swaddling was okay as long as it wasn't tight. THIS was VERY BAD advice and may have meant her issue did not go away.
IF your child has a suspicious first exam and/or was born breech and has risk factors for dysplasia, don't do it and go to an orthopedic pediatric specialist pronto. HOpefully someone will avoid the heartbreak of seeing their child in casts, braces, and harnesses.
Quote from PEDIATRICS
For infants who are already
at increased risk for DDH because of family history or
breech delivery, hip ultrasound screening should be performed
as recommended by the American Academy of
Pediatrics clinical practice guidelines11; if dysplasia is
found, swaddling should be avoided. If the screening
ultrasound findings are normal, then swaddling can be
safely allowed. For all infants who are swaddled, monitoring
of the swaddling technique to ensure that their
hips are allowed to flex and abduct in a safe position for
hip development may lessen the risk of DDH.
