Karp, H. (2004). The happiest baby on the block: The new way to calm crying and help your baby sleep longer (DVD & book). New York: Random House.
Dr. Karp blends modern science and ancient wisdom to prove that newborns are not fully ready for the world when they are born. He teaches parents exactly how to guide cranky infants to calm and easy babies to serenity in minute and helps them sleep longer. It is very helpful to get information by reading the book and watching a DVD, and it assists parents and caregivers to be professional in working with their young children.
