Happiest Baby
Happiest Baby is a parenting program created by Dr. Harvey Karp, a pediatrician and child development expert. It focuses on techniques to soothe fussy babies and promote better sleep. The program emphasizes understanding infant behavior and offers practical strategies for parents to help their babies feel secure and calm.
Central to the Happiest Baby approach is the "5 S's" method, which includes swaddling, side/stomach position, shushing, swinging, and sucking. These techniques aim to mimic the comforting environment of the womb, making it easier for babies to settle down and sleep peacefully.
