Harvey Karp is a fucking genius. If you don't like the word fuck you should go read another blog.
Anyway, Harvey wrote The Happiest Baby on the Block.
I am skimming this book.
I do not have time to read it.
I have two small children.
Screw you.
Anyway, the theory is 5 S's. Babies need to be shushed, swaddled, swung, and shit..NO that is not one of the S's, but I can't remember the other two right now and frankly it doesn't matter because the shushing and swaddling are working great..OH sucking!! That's one of them! We are using a pacifier!
Anyway, Maren is very fussy and gassy and we have her on Zantac for babies and new formula and special bottles and now I am wrapping her like she's in a straight jacket and shushing so loud in her ear that I get dizzy..but it is working.. so I if Will comes home and I am lying passed out on the floor and blue around the lips, but our baby is sleeping soundly, I don't give a shit. I DO NOT. I will sacrifice some brain cells for a sound nights sleep.
Ok so I hear her and the swing is almost out of time because I have it on a timer and so I better go, but I just want to say that Will will be wholeheartedly invested in the 5 S's once he sees that it works.
Maybe the last S is sex. I haven't gotten to the end of the book.
Let's hope it is. I bet that's the whole point of the first 4...once you get the baby to sleep..thennnn.........
