The Happiest Baby™

The Happiest Baby™ is perhaps one of the most extraordinary parent programs ever! With a little practice after a 2 hour workshop or private consultation, parents will know how to soothe even the fussiest infant in minutes!

Magic? A miracle? No, it’s a reflex!™

Dr. Harvey Karp, MDDr. Harvey Karp, MD, an internationally acclaimed pediatrician and creator of the Happiest Baby™ program, blends modern science and ancient wisdom to illustrate how newborns may not be fully prepared for the world when they are born. Through his research and 25 years experience as a pediatrician, he has developed four basic principles that every person who desires to have a better understanding of newborns should know:

The Missing Fourth Trimester:

In many ways, our babies benefit from recreating the womb like atmosphere that they have been accustomed to for the last nine months. This helpful fourth trimester experience is comforting for calm babies, and essential for discontented ones!

The Calming Reflex:

Nature’s automatic ‘reset switch’ stills a baby’s crying and is truly a baby’s - and parent’s – best friend!

The 5 S’s:

These 5 simple steps: swaddling, side/stomach position, shushing, swinging, and sucking, trigger the calming reflex. When done with the proper technique, they are extremely effective in their ability to carry an infant from tears to tranquility!

The Cuddle Cure:

This is a perfect combination of the 5 S’s that can soothe even the most colicky of infants. Parents gain a deep satisfaction in comforting their child, babies are blissful and everyone may get an extra hour or two of sleep!

In this hands-on training, parents will learn exactly how to master techniques that will soothe babies crying in minutes! You will receive an instructional DVD and a ‘calming sounds’ CD to enjoy and refer to at home. (A $40 value) You will also learn:

  • What is colic?
  • How to help your baby sleep longer
  • Can babies be spoiled?
  • Why infant massage is so beneficial to babies and parents
  • As well as many other parenting tips

Your baby is never too young……in fact, many expectant parents enjoy learning these techniques even before their baby is born!

This program has been endorsed by leaders of The American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, Lamaze, DONA and Prevent Child Abuse America.
