    born 3 months too soon.

These educational tools are filled with sage advice, commonly asked questions, and parent testimonials,
and will fascinate everyone who wants to know how babies experience the world and how to answer their
cries lovingly and effectively. Coming to the rescue of beleaguered new parents, the Happiest Baby
Educator will give new moms as well as dads (as well as other family member and childcare providers)
the tools they need to help infants sleep longer and calm unhappy babies almost as easily as turning off
the light.

According to Dr. Karp, “Although today’s mothers and fathers are very well educated, they are the least
experienced parents in history. No wonder even loving parents sometimes feel pushed to the breaking
point by their infant’s screaming.”  Dr. Karp places in the hands of all parents, grandparents, and
childcare providers the tools they need to be able to calm their babies.

Harvey Karp, M.D., has appeared many times on The View, The Dr. Phil Show, ABC News World News
Tonight, CNN, Good Morning America and various national radio programs. He has lectured extensively,
nationally and internationally, to conferences of health care professionals. In addition, his work has been
featured in People Magazine, the LA Times, and dozens of newspapers across the country. He has also
been mentioned in Time, Newsweek, and many other national magazines. Dr. Karp is an assistant
professor of pediatrics at UCLA School of Medicine, with a private practice in Santa Monica, California.
Dr. Karp is also a nationally renowned expert on children's health and the environment, and an authority
on breastfeeding. His expert advice is also featured in the article “The Best Baby Sleep Tips Ever”, in the
May 2005 issue of Parents Magazine.
Maryland joins other states across the nation in offering a new national parenting education program called The
Happiest Baby. The first 100 Happiest Baby educators, including Westminster,MD, resident and business owner,
Colleen L. Newman, have been trained in the innovative new approach of renowned pediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp.
These educators will offer parents in communities across the country the opportunity to learn Dr. Karp’s
extraordinary techniques for quickly calming fussy babies and helping them to sleep longer.

The vision of the Happiest Baby Program is to teach parents simple, effective, and fun techniques to quickly soothe
their babies’ cries and help them sleep a little longer. Half of all new babies cry and fuss more than two hours a day.
Their prolonged wails often trigger exhaustion, breastfeeding failure, marital stress, maternal depression, and even
child abuse. But all that is about to change!

Dr. Karp’s landmark work reveals a treasure sought by parents for centuries – the calming reflex – the virtual off-
switch for a young baby’s crying. It solves the puzzle “What causes colic?” and more importantly the question, “How
can parents soothe their baby’s screams in minutes…or less?

No wonder thousands of Los Angeles parents, from working moms to superstars like Madonna, Michelle Pfeiffer, and
Pierce Brosnan have turned to Dr. Karp to learn his secrets for making babies happy.
