DVD Reviews of The Happiest Baby on the Block - The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Baby Sleep Longer (DVD)

DVD Review: A MUST HAVE for every new parent!
Summary: 5 Stars

I recommend this DVD to every prospective parent I meet. When my husband and I found out I was pregnant with our first child we were nervous. During the last trimester we watched this DVD (we actually practiced his swaddling technique before the baby was born). Dr. Karp knows babies and after watching this DVD we were more capable of handling our newborn when he arrived. My son cried less than other babies at the hospital. I actually think my son IS a happier child because we followed Dr. Karp's advice. Now my son is 19 months and I'm reading "The Happiest Toddler on the Block". Thanks Dr. Karp!

DVD Review: Great confidence builder for new moms AND DADS
Summary: 5 Stars

Baby hasn't arrived yet, but I watched this with my husband and we were impressed. Watching the faces of the crying babies in the video was amazing: you can see, as Dr. Karp explains, the very moment when the "calming reflex" kicks in. Their eyes soften into sudden contentment, and best of all you understand exactly what was done to get them there.

Dr. Karp makes the simple comment that Dads are often even better at these (particular) techniques than Moms. Something about how they enjoy the physical interaction, or have the stamina for lots of bouncing, etc. When my husband heard that, he literally sighed in relief.

This video is great learning material for both parents, and I think a great way to help Dad feel comfortable "in the driver's seat" with child care; a very good thing for Moms!

DVD Review: Amazing product...but get it while they are young...
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this DVD - it works - it is amazing...but if you don't get it before the baby gets here, you may not have time to learn the techniques well and the baby may outgrow the methods. Four months and you are done.

That said this is my favorite baby shower gift and after two grand babies, several nieces and nephews later - it is the toast of our family. Now everyone has to check who is giving the DVD so there aren't a dozen at every baby shower.

Buy it - you won't regret it - especially good for new parents and fathers who are a little unsure...this gives you the confidence you need. However, don't hesitate to buy this if you have five children and don't know these techniques - if you value your sleep and sanity...

DVD Review: This will change your life!
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD will completely change your parenting experience. It is amazing! It is so simple and fool proof. These techniques take the stress, anxiety and frustration out of parenting a newborn and allows you to soothe, and truly enjoy your baby. This is a baby shower Must Have! The five S's are the key to sanity with a new baby!

DVD Review: Very Good but you might need more
Summary: 4 Stars

They introduce the concept of teaching sign language to babies on a very clear way, it just makes sense. They describe the different techniques and how to avoid common pitfalls (like gettting frustrated)

The only thing is that I was expecting them to cover more words and sentences in the DVD, they only include 6 words and the accompanyig book contains over 25 more. But I guess that if you understand the basics on 'how' to teach the words, you can always introcude as many as you want and that is what the DVD actually covers very well (how to teach)

Description of The Happiest Baby on the Block - The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Baby Sleep Longer (DVD)

Do you learn better by watching rather than reading? Here is a chance to see how to transport your baby from screaming into serenity...in minutes. Watch as, step-by-step, Dr. Karp teaches new parent how to switch on their baby's powerful calming reflex. English and Spanish In "The Happiest Baby" Dr. Karp reveals a treasure sought by new parents for centuries... the "calming reflex" (the automatic "off-switch? for any baby?s crying). No wonder thousands of Los Angeles parents, from working moms to superstars like Madonna and Michelle Pfeiffer have turned to Dr. Karp to learn his secrets for making babies happy. Elisabeth Bing author and co-founder of Lamaze International "The Happiest Baby on the Block is fun, fascinating and convincing. I highly recommend it to all new parents." (Running time - 38 minutes.) The DVD also contains 3 bonus chapters: 1) Dr. Karp answers 25 questions from parents about calming babies and helping them sleep. 2) A Spanish dubbed audio track of the entire 38 minute teaching video. 3) Three tracks of calming white-noise sound that is an extraordinary mix of womb sounds and a newly designed pulsation that babies love (even though it sounds a little odd to the ears of an adult) Each track can be played individually, played in sequence or repeated for hours to gently guide your baby into a deep level of relaxation. This video is designed in NTSC not PAL or SECAM. It is meant for use in most countries in the Western Hemisphere as well as Japan, South Korea, Greenland, Guam, Samoa, and the Philippines.
