Movie Reviews of The Happiest Baby on the Block DVD
Movie Review: Methods didn't work ... instinct did
Summary: 2 Stars
I was expecting this DVD to be an end-to-end coverage to make sure babies are happy. What I noticed was, it did not cover the basic stuffs (Is baby hungry? Is baby wet or poopy? Is baby warm & toasty?) ... but instead he jumped straight to his Basic 5 "S"'s. His book probably covered it better but I didn't bother to look there.
The only thing I learned from this DVD is a swaddling technique, which there are umpteenth ways to swaddle you can learn online, in origami-like books, or your pediatrician. Hence the additional star to 2-stars.
This DVD is probably sensational for those that have "fussy" newborns. There's nothing fussy about babies, they are just trying to tell you something. Those 5 "S" techniques probably draw the babies out of those core problems they are communicating, like an allergy to something, or a poky linen on the shoulder, or trying to tell you he/she is too cold, etc.
My limited experience says that all you need in parenting a happy baby is to be instinctive, calm, super patient and responsive. Using the basic "Is baby ...?" question was more effective than the 5 "S". Not Dr Karp's techniques ... sorry. I tried his technique in the middle of the night (two nights) and it got worse until we figured out the baby was just saying "turn down the A/C and swaddle me twice!"
