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. \u003cbr\u003e 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: \u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e The Calming Reflex: the automatic reset switch to stop crying of any baby in the first few months of life. \u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e The Cuddle Cure: the perfect mix the 5 S s that can soothe even the most colicky of infants. \u003cbr\u003e In the book, Dr. Karp also explains: \u003cbr\u003e What is colic? \u003cbr\u003e Why do most babies get much more upset in the evening? \u003cbr\u003e How can a parent calm a baby in mere minutes? \u003cbr\u003e Can babies be spoiled? \u003cbr\u003e When should a parent of a crying baby call the doctor? \u003cbr\u003e How can a parent get their baby to sleep a few hours longer? \u003cbr\u003e 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.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Bantam","offers":[{"title":"Happiest Baby on the Block | Harvey Karp | Paperback | 9780553381467 | Used: Very Good | Family \u0026 Relationships 1613347","offer_id":48428936003736,"sku":"1613347","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81gAAIH0wfL.jpg?v=1773349499","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/happiest-baby-on-the-block","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
