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 September 28, 2008 Summary: It's a life saver of a book, really. We had a fussy baby, we thought it might be colic cause it only happened at night. Except after learning about colic, it really didnt fit or aleast it was only mild case/signs of being colic. Which actually defies the definition of colic., I was looking around doing research on how to calm our fussy baby and came across this book a few times. I read the reviews and noticed someone summed it up for you. I took that to heart and didnt buy the book thinking I had the just of it. However my attempts to calm baby were only half successful. Ironically enough a few days later my wife had meet with a friend who owned this book and let her borrow it. I read through it tonight when baby got fussy and I'm so glad it made it's way into our lives. It really is a life savor and you cant really sum up this book by just saying use the 5 S's and what they are if you really want to get it right. There really was a good bit more detail in it this and for such a great price, it's wisdom cant be beat. If you have a fussy baby and your almost at your wits end, you really gotta read/get this book. Written on September 23, 2008 Summary: LOVE THIS BOOK!!! Hi,Everybody.I Highly Recommended this Book.I am a R.N. with my own Baby Nurse Business,and I THANK Dr.Kharp for His knoledge,because I Apply them daily with my Clients.I also,Educate the Baby Nurses Students, with his DVD.If you need some Tips to Calm your Baby,This is a GREAT way to start.Sincerely,J.R. http://BabyNursesandDoulas.com.THANK YOU. Written on September 10, 2008 Summary: Great for Colic! Great book! I recommend the DVD b/c it is quicker to get through especially with a colicky baby...who has time to read?! But the book has a bit more information than the DVD. It is a good companion to use in conjunction with the DVD. If you want to buy only 1 item, go for the DVD. Written on September 4, 2008 Summary: The 1st Book You Need This book is the 1st book you should read when coming home from the hospital (or shortly before having the baby). I had a very fussy baby and the soothing techniques shared in this book are an amazing education on how to care for a fussy child when nothing else works. The results are immediate. This book gave me the knowledge that boosted my confidence and made me more capable of caring for my child. Pros- Invaluable soothing techniques and easy to understand definition on colic Cons- None  Written on August 30, 2008 Summary: Might be good if your baby is colicky I bought this book when I was still pregnant and did my best to get through it. That was difficult because it is incredibly repetitive. I don't need to be told something multiple times. He could tell you everything once and this book would be much more useful and only 10 pages long. I already knew the basics and thought this book would enlighten me. It didn't. It bored me. And, as it turned out, my son wasn't a crier so the information in it was completely useless to me. If you already have a colicky infant and have tried everything else, you might consider this book but otherwise, I'd save yourself some money and avoid it. |
