5 out of 5 stars Really Works!   October 13, 2008
Dr. Karp's techniques are incredible. That being said, the DVD is actually slightly more useful than the book, because it demonstrates exactly how to calm your baby. We have been using his techniques for the past 3 weeks with a newborn and they truly are amazing. I would highly recommend the DVD unless you really want to read another book.


5 out of 5 stars Very loving method of helping newborns adjust to the world   October 7, 2008
The program Dr. Karp presents in this book was a lifesaver during the first three months of my daughter's life. We didn't follow his plan down to the letter (and Dr. Karp says it is adaptable for each baby's needs) because my daughter hated having her arms swaddled in, so we swaddled her arms-out and it worked like a charm. She started sleeping through the night at 8 weeks, and the four "S's" worked incredibly well when she needed help calming down. I really appreciated the fact that this plan helped us help her adjust to the world during her "fourth trimester" in a loving and comfortable way. People now tell me that they have never seen a happier, more content child than my little girl!


5 out of 5 stars Great Resource   October 7, 2008
This book has been great so far. Just brought our daughter home and have already started to put things into practice. Thanks for the practical advice!


5 out of 5 stars Excellent book to help parents with crying colic   October 2, 2008
This book is excellent. Dr Karp not only teaches you the techniques to help your infant cry less and be happier, but he also explains the theory why it works. In addition, he goes into other theories of colic, and explanations about them. As a pediatrician, I found this fascinating and very useful. I highly recomend this book to toher parents and especially other health professionals. My mother, a pediatric rheumatologist, has worked with Dr Karp since he was a resident, and has seen his theories work for years in many children.


4 out of 5 stars Five Basics   September 29, 2008
The second half of this book has really practical, proven-by-experience advice (five basic strategies for keeping a baby peaceful) for anyone with a newborn baby. The first half, on the other hand, is almost laughable. My recommendation to my daughter was to soak up part two of the book and ignore the first half in the interest of saving time.
