Summary: Not so helpful
Review: I bought this in hopes it would do what it promises.
Not the case. I do see where harvey is trying to get the focus linked between a parent and the baby.
Truth is - it hasn't worked yet, and the product that has a guarantee should really give instructions that cater to all types of babies, and alternate instructions if something particular isn't working.
Not what i expected

Summary: extremely helpful
Review: I am giving this DVD to all my pregnant friends because I think it has been extremely helpful to us with our first child. I read the book first but still had a few questions about the techniques described so I got the DVD as well and I think that the DVD alone is perfect. I wish I had known that before I spent all that time with the book.

Summary: Shh, the baby's finally sleeping! I can't believe it!
Review: "I wish I had watched this as soon as I came home from the hospital with my wife and baby.
We were in agony for 11 days. Last night we were almost at the breaking point. Our baby fussed for 6 hours yesterday and we did not know how to calm him. After watching your video he calmed down with swaddling, side position and Shhhing."
--------father of an 11 day old baby.
this is one of the many happy parents who have watched the Happiest Baby DVD and Video. Parents feel much more competent and confident as they successfully calm their infants.

Summary: best $$$$ I ever spent!
Review: I am a first time new mommy of a three week old. Baby was using breast as the only way to sooth herself and was on me all day and night. She wouldn't let anyone put her down AT ALL- she would cry as soon as she wasn't being held. This technique works like magic! She sleeps in bassinet for 3 hrs at a time, goes in swing, sits in bouncy seat and just hangs out and looks around. She is generally calmer, even when changing her, bathing her, etc. We have now lent this video to 2 other new Moms and feel great about it!

Summary: I would rate it 100 stars if possible!
Review: Our 6 week old is just as fussy/colicky/high needs as our first one was (everyone said it could never happen again!)- After trying everything again (changing my diet incase it was a nursing issue, the vacuum cleaner, wondering what we were doing wrong again!) I ordered this video. I cried when I saw his technique, because seeing the babies on the video reminded me exactly of my two girls, and I knew it would work for my 6 week old. Luckily I was right! She is happy, content, and we have no guilt or wondering what we are doing wrong as parents! Now we can calm her and satisfy her needs. We are so thrilled- I will ask my pediatrician to recommend this video to parents of similar babies

Summary: Unbelievable! Common sense comforting for crying babies
Review: Dr. Karp applied common sense to the "problem" of crying babies that most new parents face, by borrowing from traditions being used around the world to calm babies down as if you had "flipped a switch." He acknowledges the existence of a 'fourth trimester', i.e. the first three months of the baby's life and the need to use techniques to make the baby feel as in the mother's womb to calm him/her down, appealing to their calm reflex.These techniques are summarized as the five S's: Swaddling (very tight, to resemble the tight environment of the uterus), Side or Stomach position (otherwise known as the football hold), Shushing (as loud as the baby cries), Swinging (making the head jiggle slightly, to replicate the mom's movements with the baby in her tummy) and Sucking (with your finger, or a pacifier in place). As intuitive or odd these techniques may sound to you, you need to view this video: it will probably make the difference for you as it has for so many parents. As I write this, we're in our last couple of weeks of pregnancy, and we're ready to apply them to our upcoming baby boy. For more information, visit his web site, www.thehappiestbaby.com.

Summary: I recommend this to all new parents
Review: The night before I received the DVD from Amazon my baby was up and crying on and off for 5 hours. After I saw the video, I put the methods to work that same night and I was able to sooth and calm the baby in less then 1/2 hour. Using these methods , she can now sleep better, hence, she can also eat better and sleep even longer. These methods are very well described such that everyone can use them. Thanks to Dr Karp and his methods, my husband and I are as happy as our child now.

Summary: Miracle Sleep Solution!
Review: After reading many books on trying to get my 5 week old to stop crying and sleep, I stumbled upon Dr. Karp's book at the library. What a godsend! After reading it, I was still skeptical so I bought the video. All I can say is WOW! For the 1st time, my baby slept in his cradle all night only waking up to eat. The techniques work! I'm a true believer and will recommend this video (and book) to all of my pregnant friends!
