Soothe a Crying Baby

I was happy that I read The Happiest Baby on the Block: The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Newborn Baby Sleep Longer by Dr. Harvey Karp, before Ryan was born. (Actually, Amanda read it and recommended that I read it; I watched the DVD. I thought I was busy, but I soon became much busier!) In less than an hour, we learned how to calm a crying infant with simple techniques. I have since recommended Dr. Karp's guides to friends who likewise found the techniques really useful during their baby's first few months. Tip: Read or watch it before your baby is born!
