blockWe’ve got a many a friend who swear by Happiest Baby on the Blocks’ “5 S’s” for calming a fussy baby  - swaddling, side/stomach positioning, shushing, swinging and sucking. Watching the DVD is highly suggested – you’ve got a get a real feel for the decibel level of suggested shushing. We put this book in the pick & choose category – some babies will love swaddling & swinging, some will love shushing, some will love all five. Skim the intro, focus on the five s’s and file the info away.
