Product Description
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.

This book is good because it introduced us to swaddling and rocking.
The methods in this book didnt work at all with our colic baby daughter.
In fact, this book made us feel guilty
when we couldnt stop the baby from crying. It made us feel obligated
to stop the crying. When we figured that the methods dont work, we threw the book away. All babys are different, and babies NEED to cry. Crying is natural and babies need to experience a full spectrum of
human emotions, including emotions that govern crying. To deprive them from crying is criminal, in my opinion.
We had to let the baby cry out quite a few times, and her colic gradually disapeared and was gone within few weeks.
We have a very happy baby, she is developing extremely well.
This book made us initially feel gulty because
it made us think we were abandoning our child by letting her cry.
The book is rubbish, and if you are parents of colicky babys,
please dont take this book seriously for your own sanity and for the health of your baby. Just follow your natural instinct and let the baby cry.

I consider this book as a waste of money. The book can be shrinked into 5 pages, including several common sense.
