Product Description:
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.

Rating : - Extra Sleep . . . That's Music To Our Ears
As parents of twins, I can't begin to stress how valuable the techniques and tools that Dr. Karp offers on The Happiest Baby on the Block DVD were to us. Not only did this make us feel empowered to be able to calm and soothe our two little guys, but we were able to get them to sleep for longer periods of time. One of our boys was 8.5 lbs at birth and the other was 6.5 lbs. I tried to tandem feed them, but the ackwardness of the weight made it very uncomfortable. Being able to feed and bond with one at a time and being able to have the other one swaddled and soothed during the process, really made for a truly special experience that I was able to enjoy with each of them on their own. In conjunction with the DVD, we also used the Soothing Sounds CD. Our boys are now 4 years old and we are still using the CD at night . . . its amazing. The boys go to sleep easily and sleep for 11 hours. The CD also comes in handy when traveling as we are able to provide the boys with the familiarity of home. I highly recommend both of these products.
