I read the book and liked it. I liked the idea/reasoning behind the 4th trimester. We didn't do a whole lot with it after our son was born, because he wasn't a very fussy baby. We used swaddle sacks, jiggling, and side-lying (he still loves side-lying and will knock right out when we do it!). We didn't ever use a white noise machine, but did some loud shushing & it seemed to calm him down.

Interesting enough but it felt like a lot of "fluff" to make it a whole book. I could have skimmed it and read what the "5s's" were and could have gotten the same out of it.

It's worth watching once, but you don't need to own it.

Yay! Worked for us You can find it for cheap in most used book stores pretty easily. The book does repeat itself a lot, it could state everything once and be 50% shorter. Haven't seen the movie, but I've heard it's a great shortcut.

Big YAY! We watched the DVD and I skimmed the book. Helped tremendously.

yay! i can't say it was sooo useful in specifically teaching me the 5 Ss, but rather reading that book changed my perspective and parenting approach. For example, when L was born, i held beliefs such as you can "spoil" a baby by picking them up too much, so it's better to try to get them to sleep on their own (as in from day one). now i am big believer and practicer in babywearing.

I read the book and watched the DVD. Nay to the book, but YAY to the DVD!

Didn't know there was a DVD, but the book was very helpful when LO was 6 weeks to 3 months. We did the 4 S's, because my DS was interested in sucking. It rarely put him to sleep but often calmed him down when he was colicky.
