Happiest Baby on the Block...

Has anyone read the book or watched the DVD?  I have heard great things about it but not sure if it's worth the money.   

Thanks,

Yes. Worth it. I got a used copy from Amazon for, like, four bucks.

Both. I even got the app on my iphone (which is basically the book). Very worth it for FTMs. I think the DVD was really helpful in actually seeing how the techniques are performed and work. He is seriously the baby whisperer!

I read the book when I was pregnant with DS. Totally worth it! I recommend it 100%.

Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!

I got a used copy of the DVD on Amazon and both my husband and I found it extremely helpful.

I have two sons already and when I was reading through I didn't see anything I didn't know already. Maybe if you don't have a lot of experience with babies it would be a good read. I have heard great things about it. (which is why I was reading through)

Another 100% recommend.  With DD, we had no idea what we were doing and she had colic.  My SIL gave us the DVD and when I tell you that the techniques worked wonders, they really did.  DD was a different baby.  We loved it.

I checked the DVD out of my local library. It was totally worth a watch. Try to find it for free somewhere :o)  The 5 S's rock!

I really liked this book...I'm an FTM so I haven't tried out any of the techniques myself, but I fully embrace the idea of a "fourth trimester," it just makes so much sense!

If your baby ends up with "true colic" this does not work...nothing does.  I had a bunch of people who told me to use this with my dd and even a supposed expert on it come to my home and tell me that all children respond to this method.  After about an hour and a half she gave up and said that my kid was a severe case and apparently it wasn't going to work.  Her dr. also agreed and said that all that we could really do was wait it out.  Finally at 4 1/2 months she just quit screaming all day.

I got the video from Netflix.  I also read the book, which was unnecessary to do both.

 We also had a colicky baby, but I found the information to be helpful.  Our baby cried all day, but these would good tools to put her to sleep.

I actually didnt like it. Ive read a bunch of baby books that all discuss what this entire book is about in just a chapter or two. Which is really all you need. I dont see why you need a whole book. I just thought it was a waste of money since I already heard it all before.

We got the book, dvd, and the Happiest Toddler book from Zulily for like $20. We'll pass it on to my sister when she has kids.

Yes, worth every penny.  You really just need the DVD though.
