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.

Summary: It works, get it...
Comment: My baby was born on 6-20. I read this book a few months ago and remembered most of what was taught. I also recommend the video - since many of the techniques really need to be seen to learn properly. The hospital was pro-swaddling which also helped. Even if every one of the 5S's don't work, you will want techniques to calm your baby quickly. I felt if I didn't read this book I would be absolutely lost! A crying baby can drive you slightly mad. The swaddling, shusshing and sucking on pinky work best for my baby. The turn on the side and jiggle also work.
Essential reading for the new parent. I was skeptical. Now I am a believer.
If you have changed his/her diaper, fed him/her, she/he is not cold/too hot the next steps are the cuddle cure.

Summary: Best baby book ever!
Comment: I wish this book was around when my kids were babies! The section on swaddling will be a life saver for my step-daughter, who is expecting her first child in October. I have seen others implement Dr. Karp's swaddling technique. Truly amazing!

Summary: Great book!
Comment: My neice was a cranky baby and would cry all the time when awake. I bought this book on advice from a friend for my sister-in-law. My brother read it in one sitting and started implemeting some of the suggestions right away. They worked! She is much happier now. Thanks!

Summary: It works!
Comment: My baby hates to be swaddled. She loves to sleep with her arms up in the air. When we do swaddle her tightly (with velcro blankies even) she somehow manages to wriggle at least one of her arms out. Maybe she is double jointed... Anyway, as mush as she hates having her arms down, the techniques in this book work like a charm. She will fight me the whole time getting wrapped up, but as soon as she's wrapped tight and I start the jiggling and shushing she immediately calms and falls asleep. It's as if I hit some sort of reset switch.
My only criticism of the book is that Karp has way too much repetition of stuff that you really only need to read once, He hits us over the head reminding us that some cultures don't have colicky babies. That's great, but when it's 2AM and little cherub is screaming at the top of her lungs, I just want to know how to make her stop. It took me three days to even get through this short book because of all the extra verbiage.

Summary: The baby bible
Comment: Ok, so they say every child should come with an owner's manuel. Well this is it, they should be required to give this to you at the hospital, it helps you cope with and understand why your baby crys and what they feel. My son was colicky, and when I came to understand what he felt and why he was crying and carrying on the way he did, it stopped. This book really is magic. The book talks about this missing month for the babies and how they have this traumatic change from being warm and soothed all the time in the womb to being pushed into a world of unfamiliar. With this book, you need to buy a large blanket for swaddling and you are set. If you need instant relief for your child buy the DVD, new parents rarely have time to sit and read, especially with a colicky little one. Good luck to all you new parents!
