| Just wondering if anyone uses the DVD or book by Harvey Karp called the Happiest Baby on the Block. If so has it worked for you? |

I haven't read/seen it, but Louise from The Sleep Store who is our OHbaby! sleep expert, swears by it. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I have the DVD. I didn't actively use the whole routine as such but I think how he showed you to swaddle the baby correctly was good and I also used the shushing when Ashleigh was upset. But in saying all that, Ashleigh was a very placid baby and very rarely got upset for no reason so I didn't really need to put it all into practice. ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

| I watched the DVD and have tried a few of the techniques - swaddling, shushing and sucking (dummy) - DH likes to put Kaleb on his side and has success with this to settle him but neither of us have done the swaying as much as he does. |
