Title: What happens at 4, 5, 6 months?
Review: I agree with the reviewer who said that the 5 S's worked like a charm for the first three months. I recommended the book to all of my pregnant friends because our baby slept so well and was so easy to soothe. HOWEVER, now our baby is almost 6 months old, and the 5 S's do not work anymore. In the last week, she now takes about 1.5 hours to calm down enough to go to sleep. She screams if I wrap her, and she screams if I unwrap her. Dr. Karp makes the reader feel that all of a sudden at four months, your baby doesn't need a swaddle, can find her thumb and feel secure all on her own. She did seem more like a baby, not like a fetus, at four months, but I really feel she never learned how to self soothe, and the confidence I had when she was a newborn is gone! I really feel like I don't know what I'm doing anymore!!
