Item Description:
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.

Rating: - * Good guide ...
I enjoyed what I learned from this dvd, but remember it is a guide..not the bible. The tips/tricks are very helpful, but each baby is unique and this may not work all the time for all babies. For instance, my daughter really doesn't like to be swaddled unless she's very tired. Overall, it's well worth the investment.

Rating: - * Must have for first-time parents ...
Every parents should be required to watch this video. I recently attended Dr. Karp's seminar for American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)in Boston in Oct. His research findings on methods to calm the fussiest babies work like magic. I'm not a parent yet but I'm giving copies to my first-time parent friends.

Rating: - * INCREDIBLE!!!! ...
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!

Rating: - * Life Saver ...
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.

Rating: - * A MUST HAVE it WORKS and saves your sanity ...
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 twists on the old ways that worked then and work nOW. One friend had been swaddling but she was always "tied " to her baby,having totry to appease him...the day she got a swing(3 weeks ago) she is still rejoicing and celebrating the freedom to watch her son swing to the 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 !!!This is a loving soothing method
offered.
So, if you follow the 5 "S" in the dvd and book you will see a real change in your baby's contentment.I do reccomend the both highly.
This does not get into medical issues per se as that is whole different story if a baby has a medical issue a doctor needs to be seen. If not, these techniques work and all are happier and healthier for it.
All of the new moms in my area are buying and sharing the DVD and book.
The DVD is more my style since I like to see what is actually done rather than read and look at illustrations.
