Summary

Never again will you have to stand by helplessly while your little baby cries and cries. There is a way to calm most crying babies...usually in minutes!

Thousands of parents, from regular moms and dads to Hollywood superstars, have come to baby expert Dr. Harvey Karp to learn his remarkable techniques for soothing babies and increasing sleep. Now his landmark book - fully revised and updated with the latest insights into infant sleep, bedsharing, breastfeeding, swaddling, and SIDS risk - can teach you too!

Dr. Karp’s highly successful method is based on four revolutionary concepts:

  1. The Fourth Trimester: Why babies still yearn for a womblike atmosphere...even after birth
  2. The Calming Reflex: An “off switch” all babies are born with
  3. The 5 S’s: Five easy steps to turn on your baby’s amazing calming reflex
  4. The Cuddle Cure: How to combine the 5 S’s to calm even colicky babies

With Dr. Karp’s sensible advice, parents and grandparents, nurses and nannies, will be able to transform even the fussiest infant into the happiest baby on the block!

A lot of repetitions

There are only few ideas talked repeatedly in all the book. It could have been much shorter. Also it contains a lot of historical facts and how the things are done in other cultures what I didn't find very helpful or relevant.

annoying narration & extremely repetitive

This book had some good advice, but it was so overly repetitive that it felt insulting by the end, to be honest. The fact that the narration was incredibly annoying didn't help make listening to it any more bearable, to be honest. The whole thing could have been condensed into half the length and still have contained the same amount of information. I recommend Sarah Ockwell-Smith's books over this one.

completely recommend

Great for anyone expecting. Learned loads of new tips and tricks. Wish I had this book with my first child . Baby number 2 has been a dream so far with swaddling and white noise

Really good

Only thing I would say is it was a bit repetitive with the same I for being talked about again and again.

Could have maybe been condensed to just 3 hrs.

But definitely a one you should read/ listen to.
