Happiest Baby on the Block?

has anyone tried this? It seems like a gentler form of sleep training. If you've tried it, how'd it work?

  • It's not sleep training as pp said, it's a method to soothe babies and make them feel safe and happy. It's about the 5 S's to calm babies. I think it works great.

  • Hasn't worked for either of my babies :/ Maybe I'm not doing it right or maybe my babies are just not cooperative :P First one was always screaming due to reflux that took a while to get under control and second has the most horrible gas ever though so that could be why as well...
  • It always worked on my LOs. For us the swaddling with loud shhhs right in their ear was the only thing that would snap them out of a witching hour rage. They still had bad moments, but I think it's the best book on explaining how to comfort infants.

  • I've found it to be very helpful. Some nights I have to employ 4 of the 5 S's (she won't suck on a pacifier) to get my LO to calm down enough for bed. Definitely worth a shot if you're having issues.
  • It's worked great for our baby. A combination of swaddling, shhhing, and sucking calms him right down.
  • Swaddling is ahmazinggggg

  • Works for my baby girl and I used to use it when I worked in the nursery at church. Never met a baby I couldn't calm down with the five S's

  • We LOVE it. We don't even have a particularly unsettled baby but find these methods great for getting him down to sleep.
  • Read the book and I use it on our baby. Especially the side hold on your legs wig the swaying legs/shushing/sucking combo. Works like a charm every time
