I read this book while my 5th! baby was in NICU and still found lots of helpful tips and coping strategies.

This book provides a good method for quickly calming babies. It's quicker to just watch the DVD, but the book does explain a little better then the DVD. I think that if every new parent understood this technique that perhaps shaken baby syndrome would not exist.

Some good information on sleep habits and newborns for first time parents. His advice worked well for one of my twins - not so well for the other one.

My newborn hasn't arrived yet, but I'm still confident that the tips in this book are going to be invaluable. I've had multiple friends recommend it to me, and their babies really are happy!

Could have been 1 chapter, did not need to be a whole book.

This book gives lots of tips for dealing with colic. It's written about babies 3 months and under.

If your problem is a teething 4-month-old, you can skip this one.

By following Dr. Karp's advice, we had our newborn sleeping so well!
A "must read" for new parents.
