Reviews about Happiest Baby on the Block Book

“My husband says that this product was a lifesaver for him. There is a section on how to swaddle your newborn up tight and make them feel very safe, which in turn helps them to not cry so much. He used this technique a lot at bedtime. We liked this video so much that we bought four more for the future as baby shower presents!” By H. Campbel

Great advice

The 5 S’s have been so useful to get my baby to sleep as a FTM. I recommend this book for any new parent. It gave me great tools and helped me feel prepared.

Hi there,

We’re so happy to hear that Dr. Karp’s Happiest Baby on the Block book and 5 S’s method provided the support you needed as a first-time parent!

Best,
Sonja from the Happiest Baby Team

Must Read For New Parents

As a new parent this book helped me so much to prepare for baby and once baby arrived!

Hi Catherine,

It's so wonderful to hear that The Happiest Baby on the Block helped you get ready for this new adventure!

Thanks for sharing,

Jess from the Happiest Baby Team

Best and most informative backed by loads of research!

I'm becoming a first-time mom and this book came highly recommended by my cousin. Wow, she was right! First of all, it's a light, short, to the point informative read backed with a ton of research. Also, it's very intuitive. While Dr. Karp is sharing information or providing tips your brain naturally starts to go to the next "what if" or "I wonder" thought and literally the next sentence transitions and/or answers that thought. I marked up areas to re-read and have my husband read. I already feel like these tips are going to help us transition into parenthood. Highly recommend this book!

Effective Techniques

We are so thankful our friends recommended we get this book. We've found the techniques to be incredibly effective in calming our baby and making our newborn experience a little less hectic than it might have been otherwise.

Great piece of work!

I am still only a couple chapters in, but I am already excited about what I've learned. Can't wait to get the toddler book next!
