In perhaps the most important parenting book of the decade, Dr. Harvey Karp reveals an extraordinary treasure sought by parents for centuries --an automatic “off-switch” for their baby’s crying. No wonder pediatricians across the country are praising him and thousands of Los Angeles parents, from working moms to superstars like Madonna and Pierce Brosnan, have turned to him to learn the secrets for making babies happy. Never again will parents have to stand by helpless and frazzled while their poor baby cries and cries. Dr. Karp has found there IS a remedy for colic. “I share with parents techniques known only to the most gifted baby soothers throughout history …and I explain exactly how they work.” In a innovative and thought-provoking reevaluation of early infancy, Dr. Karp blends modern science and ancient wisdom to prove that newborns are not fully ready for the world when they are born. Through his research and experience, he has developed four basic principles that are crucial for understanding babies as well as improving their sleep and soothing their senses: ·The Missing Fourth Trimester: as odd as it may sound, one of the main reasons babies cry is because they are born three months too soon. ·The Calming Reflex: the automatic reset switch to stop crying of any baby in the first few months of life. ·The 5 “S’s”: the simple steps (swaddling, side/stomach position, shushing, swinging and sucking) that trigger the calming reflex. For centuries, parents have tried these methods only to fail because, as with a knee reflex, the calming reflex only works when it is triggered in precisely the right way. Unlike other books that merely list these techniques Dr. Karp teaches parents exactly how to do them, to guide cranky infants to calm and easy babies to serenity in minutes…and help them sleep longer too. ·The Cuddle Cure: the perfect mix the 5 “S’s” that can soothe even the most colicky of infants. In the book, Dr. Karp also explains: What is colic? Why do most babies get much more upset in the evening? How can a parent calm a baby--in mere minutes? Can babies be spoiled? When should a parent of a crying baby call the doctor? How can a parent get their baby to sleep a few hours longer? Even the most loving moms and dads sometimes feel pushed to the breaking point by their infant’s persistent cries. Coming to the rescue, however, Dr. Karp places in the hands of parents, grandparents, and all childcare givers the tools they need to be able to calm their babies almost as easily as…turning off a light. From the Hardcover edition. |

 Written on May 23, 2008 Summary: GREAT book I have a 2 week old infant and was given this book by a friend. I was skeptical at first, but after trying his methods on a fussy baby (the 5 S's) I swear I want to write the author myself and tell him how much I appreciate his insight. My infant does not seem to have colic, (yet), but the methods work for even just fussy spells. It saved me a great deal of frustration and saved my baby a great deal of grief. He is sleeping peacefully right now thanks to this book. Definitely worth purchasing and reading. Written on May 20, 2008 Summary: Fantastic book- one tip Like everyone says- this is a must have. Our daughter was colicy- until 2 months old- which is when we found her calm trigger. We thought this only sort of worked and were pacing and jiggling and shushing, but it only brought it down once and a while. TIP: like the author says be louder than the baby so they can hear you. We found the blow dryer! For our son, we only turn on the monitor's reciever and the feedback is perfect. It is like a switch. Angry to cooing or sleeping in less than a minute. :) Enjoy your baby! Written on May 18, 2008 Summary: Colic? Then this book is a MUST! This book was a gift I received before my son was born... and I am so thankful that I took the time to read it before I gave birth! You never know if colic will strike your household- and when it does, it pays to be prepared! I know that my son and I both benefited from the information in this easy to read, practical guide to treating fussy babies. Your nights will flow more smoothly with this book (Bible?) about babies and colic. Written on May 17, 2008 Summary: so helpful! We have twin girls and found this book to be immensely helpful just after they were born. The 5 S's really worked for us (THANK GOD they liked the swings!). Swaddling worked really well for us too. Not all babies are alike, but this book taught us a lot of things about how to soothe newborns very quickly (I was able to read this in the crazy midnight hourse after they were first born and used the information immediately.) We just watched the sequel (Happiest Toddler on the Block) on DVD and also find it useful. We are big fans of Dr. Karp! Written on May 15, 2008 Summary: The best book for a new mom! I loved this book and now lend it to all my new mom friends. You have so many opinions on how it will be, then the baby comes, and it all changes! For the better, though. :) This book is so helpful and will make life easier for you and your baby right away. A MUST HAVE! |
