Product Description
Do you learn better by watching rather than reading? Here is a chance to see how to transport your baby from screaming into serenity...in minutes. Watch as, step-by-step, Dr. Karp teaches new parent how to switch on their baby's powerful calming reflex. English and Spanish In "The Happiest Baby" Dr. Karp reveals a treasure sought by new parents for centuries... the "calming reflex" (the automatic "off-switch? for any baby?s crying). No wonder thousands of Los Angeles parents, from working moms to superstars like Madonna and Michelle Pfeiffer have turned to Dr. Karp to learn his secrets for making babies happy. Elisabeth Bing author and co-founder of Lamaze International "The Happiest Baby on the Block is fun, fascinating and convincing. I highly recommend it to all new parents." (Running time - 38 minutes.) The DVD also contains 3 bonus chapters: 1) Dr. Karp answers 25 questions from parents about calming babies and helping them sleep. 2) A Spanish dubbed audio track of the entire 38 minute teaching video. 3) Three tracks of calming white-noise sound that is an extraordinary mix of womb sounds and a newly designed pulsation that babies love (even though it sounds a little odd to the ears of an adult) Each track can be played individually, played in sequence or repeated for hours to gently guide your baby into a deep level of relaxation. This video is designed in NTSC not PAL or SECAM. It is meant for use in most countries in the Western Hemisphere as well as Japan, South Korea, Greenland, Guam, Samoa, and the Philippines.

Must have for new born.......2007-09-16
I am a mother of a triplets, needless to say, I need all the help I can get. This DVD was recommended by the babies' new PED. By then, my babies were already 2 months old but it still helped, I just wish that someone had told me about it earlier. The methods in the DVD defiantly work. My advise, get this BEFORE your baby is born and follow through with it from the first day, will save you time and make your life easier.
A MUST HAVE!.......2007-09-07
This video will introduce you to a way to make your infant sleep! There is no magic involved, but simple techniques that work to calm your baby. Our baby has been sleeping all night through since 7 weeks, some nights she sleeps 13 hours!!
Making the first few months a little easier.......2007-09-07
We buy this as a baby shower gift for friends every time. It worked wonders. At last we had a peaceful car ride (our son would scream in the car seat anytime we went somewhere). Oh beloved static!
These techniques work if only people give them a chance. Too many parents say their kid hates to be swaddled. Well, they were more squished than that for nine months. These techniques make sense too.
I hear the book is great too but I think the DVD must be better, especially for those who don't have time to read the book. Watching Dr. Karp use these techniques with real babies is amazing. And the sounds included on the DVD are handy too.
Good way to calm your baby from 0-3 months.......2007-09-06
I found Dr. Karp's techniques beneficial in calming our baby. It is also a great way for Dad to interact with the baby. This is a quick video to watch as well, in case you don't have time to read the book.
THE HAPPIEST PARENTS ON THE BLOCK.......2007-09-04
Our son was not exactly colicky or high need during his "4th trimester" of his life however, a trusted friend recommended the dvd so highly we thought we'd watch it anyway and practice the 5 S's method to see what would happen. Well, our son went from being slightly fussy before bedtime with just a couple of wake ups throughout the night to drifting off to sleep without any drama and sleeping the whole night through from the age of 4 weeks until now at age of 10 months! We simply couldn't believe the transformation. Our family as well as other parents were shocked that our son was such a great sleeper during the night which made him very happy and rested during the day. My husband and I believe that Dr Karp's method was the key reason behind our baby's amazing new nighttime routine. We highly recommend the dvd or the book to any frustrated and sleep-deprived parents or even those parents who think that their baby doesn't need the 5 S's method. Dr Karp's method is simply a whole new level of peaceful nighttime routine for babies.

Description
The Calm Baby™ DVD is a collage of brightly colored toys and objects put to the calming sights and sounds of water along with favorite nursery songs and classical music. Because water has been used as the primary visual source, the DVD will help soothe a baby. In addition, because of selected classical music, the DVD can be used as a developmental tool that will help stimulate the child's mind. An audio CD of the program, with additional tracks of the nursery songs, is also included with the DVD. Calm Baby is the winner of Parenting magazine's Videos of the Year Awards 2002 and iParenting Media's 2003 "Great Holiday Product Awards."

Calm Baby will calm your baby!.......2007-06-25
I found this video indispensable when it came to a fussy baby. We used this video several times for that fussy transition period in the evening following play time with Dada after work and heading into time for sleep. It helped my son to wind down and relax instead of just screaming because he was over-tired. But mostly, I found this DVD the best thing for those times in the middle of the night when my son just wouldn't go back to sleep and literally nothing else worked. We would watch this video and sometimes both fall asleep, then I could put him back to bed relaxed. I'm happy to say my toddler has never slept in our bed, which is fine by both me and my husband!
Years of sleepy time satisfaction.......2007-04-14
My son is five now and I originally recevied a used VHS from another satisfied parent with a glowing recommendation. I am now buying the DVD to replace my worn out VHS copy for all the little ones that are frequently in my home. This video does exactly as advertised it calms baby down and puts often puts them to sleep. While Baby Einstein does that for me it doesn't do it for an infant and isn't supposed to. Baby Einstein keeps them awake and engages their interest, not a calming influence. For excellent baby and toddler learning videos I recommend Babyscapes over Baby Einstein. For language learning I recommend Signing Times videos over everything. They say the word, show the picture, say the word, show the hand sign then say the word again. But if you want to calm you child down and have them sleep this is the Video to use.
Calm Baby and Calm Parents.......2007-04-11
Very similar to the Baby Einstein videos. We use it occasionally during the "witching hour" before bedtime. Calms everyone down. Worth the money.
Best Investment Ever!!.......2006-09-20
Calm Baby has been a life saver!! My daughter would watch this movie over and over...if we would let her. She has liked it since she was a baby and still likes it. The water and bright colors captivate her attention and keeps her interested until the end. We have also purchased other "learning" movies and they don't even compare to Calm Baby. It is truly our best investment and I would suggest it to everyone!!
Life Saver.......2006-04-12
I have triplet sons and this video is my "in case of emergency" if they are all fussy. For whatever reason, as soon as they see/hear this video, the instantly calm down and are just captivated. They will watch it over and over and are equally as mesmorized each time. We also have the Baby Einstein videos that they don't pay attention to hardly at all. This one just really calms and quiets them. This has been a life saver for us when we can't do anything else to make them happy!

"Calm Baby" is better!!.......2006-10-06
This is a good DVD but "Calm Baby" is way better. It does not capture my daughter's attention like Calm Baby does...she is bored after 15 minutes.
awesome dvd.......2006-04-11
my 6 month old son loves this movie, most movies he can not sit all the way throu but his one he watches over and over. The CD that comes with it is really great to. He really enjoys the music and loves to see all the colors and animals.
Awesome :).......2006-03-14
This DVD is awesome :) Both my 3 year old and 9 month old like the music and the images. The music is fun and the puppets are cute. Great purchase :)
A great addition to our video library!.......2005-10-11
A friend first recommended the Calm Baby video when my son was 5 months old. I was a little skeptical because I thought he was a little too young for videos. We have several of the Baby Einstein videos, and they are all nice but none have ever really held his attention for very long. But, for some reason, my son really loved Calm Baby. The combination of puppets, nature scenes, and toys set to soothing music really calmed him down during his pre-bedtime fussy period. Calm Baby was a God-Send and I have since given copies to several other new moms I know.
Then, for my son's first birthday, my friend again came to the rescue and bought us the Fun Baby video. This time I was expecting great things, and I was not disappointed.
If you are familiar with the Calm Baby video, Fun Baby has the same premise - uses a water theme, puppets, animals, and nature scenes set to a combination of classical music and nursery rhymes. The music in this video though is more upbeat and the puppets and toys are all active, busy and happy. The same duck that we loved from Calm Baby is here too. This time he goes about his routine of setting up for a relaxing day at the beach (sets down his blanket, ball, umbrella, etc). My son especially loves the Duck and makes quacking sounds each time he sees it. He loves to dance to the music. I enjoy the music myself and enjoyed some of the not-so-standard nursery rhymes that I'd forgotten about from my childhood.
Fun Baby kept my son's attention for the entire video (around 30 min), which is a pretty hard thing to do.
Fun Baby also comes with an audio CD which is a nice feature.

Calm Baby is great for the autism family.......2004-11-02
Sisters-in-law made this video of soothing sights and sounds of water with nursery songs and classical music after realizing how effective it was with their children. One is the parent to triplets. Included with the video is an audio cd with twenty-three tracks covering thirty-four minutes of lullabies, nursery songs and classical music.
My seven-year old son thought the music was lovely and several times commented on the cute toys profiled in Calm Baby with the only negative being he got dizzy at one of the first images of some spinning and twirling of lights.
Throughout the Calm Baby video are images of stuffed and rubber animals in various water arrangements. The rubber duckie is one of them plus a stuffed duck that has a continuing story in a few segments. The duck is like a puppet and he pushes a small purple bed, this is similar to a dollhouse item. Before the duck shows up again the screen has a white background with blue coloring at the bottom similar to waves floating around and some classical music accompanying the image.
There is no speaking in the Calm Baby video, only the vocals to four songs I believe, Rain Rain Go Away, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Row Row Row Your Boat and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. For the Rain song there were a few kids shown from the back looking and touching a window while it was raining outside. The boat song showed toys that a child would play in the tub with and there was a twinkling show with an array of lights and colors for the star song.
The spider song showed a green and then blue spider that was like a stuffed animal but moved by a string going up and down in a room. Some of the other toys or images shown were the kind of toys that are attached to a mobile over a crib. One was a pretty red, white and black animal that my son just adored.
The images are of bubbles, water fountains, rain dropping on roses, umbrellas opening and twirling to the rain. The umbrella sequence moved perfectly to the music and then a few times there were the colored balls that you see in ball pits, but they were in a two- tiered fountain and the music and rain drops moved in rhythm perfectly.
There is one scene with a giant clam opening up with bubbles coming out and others showing the rocks and toys in aquariums. A child's hand is seen placing stuffed fish inside an aquarium that was handmade with colorful material. Thirty minutes of these arrangements goes by fairly quickly and quite possibly puts a smaller infant or toddler to sleep with the calming effects of the images and nursery songs.
I can attest to this being well suited for my children and those who enjoy visual images that are vibrant, as well as hearing rain droplets hitting the pavement. We enjoyed watching sunflowers and roses as the rain dropped on them and the colorful twirling of the umbrella.
This is a very relaxing and soothing video that could be played for children while parent is taking care of chores and before nap or bedtime. Older children will like to watch the various images that go by and remark on the colors and sounds and possibly sing along with the nursery songs.
Both my children are on the Autism Spectrum and liked Calm Baby at various times.
Works like a charm! Thank you!.......2004-06-03
I don't know about stimulating, all I care about is that it calmed my baby down EVERY TIME. Every parents know how frustrating it is when your baby gets fussy, especially when she is supposed to sleep. I've used this VDO for over two months and it still gets my 6 months old daughter to calm down, then it is much easier to get her to sleep (at least the crying stopped). Sometimes she just fell asleep watching it. The CD that comes with it is also great, since they're the same songs in the VDO. This is one of the most useful baby products I've bought. Highly recommend for calming babies.
Not something you want to buy.......2004-02-08
Our daughter did not like this video at all. In fact, I could barely make it thru the first 5 minutes. [...] The singing is horrible and this video repeats the same scenes over and over like they could barely get thirty minutes of water.[...] I certainly wouldn't recommend this at all. Do yourself a favor and invest in another video!!!!!!!!!!
A Great Video.......2003-11-19
At first I was not sure if I liked this video. However, my 9 month old daughter loved it right away!! We use it as part of our bed time routine and it works everytime. Pretty remarkable considering she never fell asleep on her own until we bought this video. I recommend it to everyone.
P.S. It works on my husband too!
I thought it was boring.......2003-11-14
I thought this video was very very boring. I wanted a video to stimulate my baby and he fell asleep. How can he be stimulated if he falls asleep? My other child left the room.
