Here is what people are saying about the The Happiest Baby on the Block : The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Newborn Baby Sleep Longer
4 Star Rating  "Eager to Put the Theory into Practice"2009-10-21
- Reviewed By User: A1LXAXOIWZTK1C
Although I'm not due for another three weeks and hence haven't yet had the opportunity to see if Dr. Karp's advice is effective, I do feel that his premise and suggestions make perfect sense.

Dr. Karp's idea that babies are born without the ability to calm themselves seems very reasonable. He discusses his argument, and in later chapters instructs the reader on how to apply his solution to fussiness, which includes basic, simple skills that anyone should be able to master. (Again, I'm a first time mom and haven't yet given birth, so I hope this isn't easier said than done!)

I enjoyed the anecdotes he included that describe the care methods of mothers in colic-free cultures. This is an easy read, and even if someone doesn't have time to read the entire book, you could always skip to the chapters that instruct you on how to swaddle, shush, swing, etc.

This book is directed toward babies that are four months old or younger, so you may want to look elsewhere if your child is older than three months. All in all, this was a good, easy read, and I look forward to trying out Dr. Karp's tips.
 
5 Star Rating  "Most important book to read when preparing for a new baby!"2009-10-18
- Reviewed By User: AAXHHIUUTIB3J
I have to agree with the masses--READ THIS BOOK! I'm a first time Mommy and this was one of the books I happened to read while pregnant. Worth it! The 5 "S's" really do work. I don't have a colicky or fussy baby BUT when she does fuss, these steps work after checking off the obvious reasons a baby would cry (hungry, wet, cold, hot, wants cuddling, change of scenery, etc.). It's really simple stuff, too. I'll be recommending this book to anyone I know who is having a baby.
 
5 Star Rating  "This should be required reading for all parents!"2009-10-10
- Reviewed By User: A2C6FUWRYWR5RG
I wish I had read this BEFORE my daughter was born. She started getting fussy/colicky around 3 weeks and I didn't get this book for another week or so. What a sanity saver once you put all the magical pieces together. I think it's a great resource for any parent with any kind of baby - fussy or not. I'm definitely going to read "Happiest Toddler on the Block" before she gets to that point :).
 
5 Star Rating  "A well-written practical book"2009-10-08
- Reviewed By User: A258MA9CXCWQSX
The book gives a complete review of diseases and vaccines so the reader can make an educated and informed decision of each vaccine for their child. . You will appreciate it on many levels. This book is a must for any new parents. The information is a life safer for your kids

When you have babies you can't go without these titles:
The Poisoned Needle: Suppressed Facts about Vaccination
The Vaccination Myth: Courageous MD exposes the Vaccination Fraud!
Vaccination Horror: An anthology of important works on vaccination pseudoscience

4 Star Rating  "Great Commonsense Approach to Soothing Baby"2009-09-29
- Reviewed By User: A3SP3VSKQ6PXT5
My husband and I have used all five of Karp's techniques to soothe our newborn and they work. The book explains all five S's well. The techniques are simple and effective. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because that the techniques really are simple, it could have been a much shorter book. There is a lot of unnecessary information in it. Overall however, great book!
 
3 Star Rating  "Great advice but sometimes contradictory"2009-09-23
- Reviewed By User: AA43NELN5NB86
The explanation of the "fourth trimester" is very valuable for a parent to understand, but some of the anecdotal side stories got a little tired. Karp gives a great approach to calming a baby. However, there are a few things he recommends that seem a little contradictory to me. First, he advises "swinging" a baby, which any parent knows can be very soothing (though neither of mine EVER were a fan of the baby swing. He goes so far to advise that the baby SLEEP in the swing which no pediatrician I have ever encountered favors. In fact, I believe there are specific warnings on the swing that you should never allow your child to sleep in it without an awake parent in the room. He also dismisses concerns about "weaning" the baby from his program as though it will be easy. I am currently in the process of weaning a 3 month old from swaddling as she is waking herself up trying to get out of the swaddle (yet wakes when I try to put her down asleep without it) and is desperately trying to roll over already which obviously makes the swaddle dangerous. He sort of off-handedly advises leaving one arm out, then two, etc., but this is MUCH easier said than done. I could see very similar problems with swinging, sucking, white noise... Finally, he frequently expresses a disapproval of letting a baby cry. Yet, towards the end of the book, he suggests putting the baby down for sleep awake after the 3 month mark as though they will just get themselves to sleep. My experience has been that after getting a baby used to such specific sleep conditions, it's either going to take some crying or a lot more maturing to get the baby to that point.
That said, if you have lived with a colicky baby, you will do anything to calm him or her and a lot of his suggestions will work. I'm just not sure they will be as easy to do without as he claims.
