The Happiest Baby on the Block

SarahS11 · March 2014

I've seen it mentioned a few times on our board... Worth it? Did it work for you? Read the book or watch the DVD?

We loved it and worked wonders! I say the DVD because who has time to read the whole book?!

We read the book. I thought it was really helpful. However, if you end up buying SwaddleMe blankets, you don't really need to practice swaddling like the book shows you.

Every single one of my friends with kids recommended this book! I bought it! :-)
Edit: I wish I got the DVD instead though but I'm going to try to read it ahead of time!

Read it and liked it a lot. It's actually a really short book.

MrsKipper · March 2014

So worth it! That man is a genius and saved my sanity so many times when Nola was a baby!!! Seriously, get it. And the DVD. Memorize it. Use it! You won't be sorry!!!

I really like HBOTB. In case you couldn't tell.

The ideas may be great but the writing is terrrribbble. Dude needed an editor like whoa.

This. I feel like it was more like a really long pamphlet than a really short book.

I just ordered the DVD on Amazon! I hope it's good.

owlcup · March 2014

Get it. You won't regret it!

I'd do the DVD so your husband can watch it with you.

The book was great! A friend with twins let me borrow it. He said that he and his wife often used the techniques with his boys.

Hopefully, the DVD is more to the point than the book.

babygabe614 · March 2014

I didn't know there was a DVD! It's so hard for me to make time to read any of the baby books I have so a DVD would be a great option. I definitely plan on trying it.

liberty95 · March 2014

I didn't read this one, but I do recommend The Happiest Toddler on the Block for the next stage.

kittenslove · March 2014

I read it and liked it, but as a FTM, don't know what to expect. We are also taking a class so my husband can be involved.

MSUMands · March 2014

I just googled it and watched it for free - all the important parts of the DVD are free on YouTube.

dimitjm1 · March 2014

Loved it....lifesaver! Someone gave us the DVD and that was sufficient.

hollygb22 · March 2014

Someone gave us the dvd..it's not all that in depth..I would think some website has the info.

Didn't work for us..we had a child that hated to be swaddled..once you took once of the S's out of the equation it was sort of a moot point to try it.

folding · March 2014

We read the book and took the class. I'd say about half of it worked with our son. It's just how he is. Not the easiest newborn, but he was lucky he was so cute!

potterybygrace · March 2014

I'm reading the book now, makes several good points. Had no idea there was a DVD which I'll have my husband watch since he's not a reader.

TheMrs820 · March 2014

I just got this as a gift on Monday, and am so excited to read it now that I hear the feedback!

MrsAMB07 · March 2014

Read the book, love it! I always give a copy to new moms now.

b48kate · March 2014

What is a DVD? Also available on Amazon as a digital download...

firebelle26 · March 2014

I downloaded this onto my kindle and watched it yesterday. The idea behind it makes sense to me!

purtz · March 2014

I read the book and also watched the DVD with DH. Highly recommend this! It worked great for our DD during the first few months! If nothing else, than to calm yourself and feel like you are doing something right! Again, can't recommend it enough!
