I want to marry Dr. Harvey Karp, who wrote "The Happiest Baby on the Block." His gentle loving methods in this book (I bought the video too, which is great) has helped in reducing Josh's nightime colicky crying down from 6 hrs. to one! Also, Josh used to sleep 3 hrs. at a time, and Tuesday night he slept for 7 1/2 hrs and Wed. (last night) slept for 6 1/2 hrs! HOORAAYY!! This is by no means a cry-it-ou books, or sleep training book. It just teaches you how to soothe and comfort your 0-3 month old (but says it can work for older babies as well), by pretending this is their missing 4th trimester and recreating the womb for them until they adapt to this world and their surroundings. I have personally found the results to be amazing! I am a much happier mama becasue of it (and when mama's happy, everybody's happy!).
P.S. I bought the book and video on Amazon.com, but here's a link to the website:
