Title: Thank the Gods for Dr. Karp and this Book!!
Review: I bought this book after reading the other reviews of it on amazon.com. It was my baby's third week, and he needed constant, constant holding, nursing and soothing. Now, that constant contact is part of attachment parenting, so it took awhile before I began to notice and accept that my baby was "High Need" aka colicky (he's my first)! I have never before reviewed a book, but the 5 S's are so gently effective I just had to write. My baby needs shhh-ing and swinging and he's as calm as limp spaghetti. Now he's needing the white noise machine or music in order to calm in the evening, and it's such a blessed relief for the whole family! I don't mind putting in the soothing time now that I can be nearly instantly effective. (Tip: turn on your baby monitor receiver without you monitor on and viola! instant white noise machine!)
