The Happiest Baby on the Block: The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Newborn Baby Sleep Longer
Bought this book for a friend, as I already own one. It has some great advice on fussy babies - how to calm them and be a calmer parent! A MUST HAVE for any new mom.

This is a wonderful book for any first time parent. It really works for my daughter and I have bought it as a shower gift twice! I defiantly recommend reading it before you have the baby. I love that this book goes into the why's of crying and how the technique of the 5 Ss work! It's an interesting read.

I wish that I could give this book more than 5 stars - I am not exaggerating when I say that this book saved our sanity when our daughter was born. She was a very fussy baby who cried a LOT; she would sometimes get so upset that she wouldn't even nurse. My husband and I read this book, and also watched the DVD by the same name. These techniques really do work when nothing else would! My daughter is now 15 months old, and she is still calmed by my shushing because we did it so much when she was a newborn.Every time I meet a pregnant woman, my first and biggest piece of advise is "You have to read or watch 'The Happiest Baby on the Block'! And get a good swaddle!" This book or DVD has become my standard baby shower gift paired with a swaddle and the big ugly pacifiers that were my newborn daughter's favorite from the hospital. Inexperienced parents often don't think to register for these things - they register for pretty embroidered burp rags (cloth diapers make the best burp rags anyway) and other cute/fancy baby equipment. What every new or expecting parent really needs is this book/DVD, a good tight swaddle, and a pacifier!

This is hands-down the best baby (0-3 mos.) book. Combined with a velcro swaddle, this is my shower gift for new parents. Dr. Karp treats the first three months of the baby's life as the 4th trimester--keep the baby close, warm, bundled tightly and try to replicate the womb. (no, nothing weird like wrapping the baby up in a red velvet blanket!) Motion, tightly swaddled, background noises (white sound shhh-ing). We followed this book to the tee for the first couple months of our baby's life and when we implemented the 5 s's, her crying quickly subsided.

I read the book and watched the video. I thought this would be a lifesaver but honestly it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. Swaddle the baby, shush in their ear, gently vibrate/rock... don't expect miracles but some of the tips help.
