Product 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.

Customer Reviews

BUY IT! BUY IT!
My husband and I would marry Dr. Karp if we could! Our 5 week old daughter seemed to NEVER sleep and the nurse at the hospital taught us to swaddle our newborn with her arms out. We had the Swaddle Me wrap, but didn't use it. We were sleep deprived and desperate for help. My sister bought us the DVD and CD and Dr. Karp seemed like a crazy person, but at that point, we were willing to listen to anyone if it meant our daughter would stop screaming. That Sunday night, my husband tried the "5 S's" and it worked within 5 minutes. Within a week, our daughter had gone from sleeping in 30 minute increments and screeching all night, to sleeping 3-4 hours. At 2 months, she was sleeping 6-7 hours a night. She's almost 5 months old now and we have NEVER had another all-night screaming session since we learned Dr. Karp's method. If I sound like a brainwashed freak, that's okay. I'm a well-rested brainwashed freak with a happy baby!

Life Saver!
Reading this book and most importantly watching the DVD was the best thing I did before having my daughter. We swaddled her from day 1 and it took no time at all to learn which S's worked best for her. By 8 weeks old she was sleeping through the night. I often loan my DVD out to pregnant friends to encourage them to purchase it.

Great for any new parent
We saw part of this video at our newborn care class and had to see the rest. It was so informative and too cute to watch all the newborns. We purchased a copy for a friends shower additionally.
