How To Put Your Baby To Sleep, According To "The Baby Whisperer"

- Dr. Harvey Karp, also known as "The Baby Whisperer," explains how to put your baby to sleep using his five S's. This involves swaddling the baby, providing gentle white noise, and rocking the child. By doing this you are imitating the womb, which helps the baby to fall asleep.

"babies are born three months before they're really ready for the world"
To be fair I was born twenty years ago and I'm still not ready
Go to a Specialist, you have a problem
NoOneIJustHappenedToBeHere Yea this guy is stupid
Does he think he is a scientist?
@@TO-hh1cd come on, it was just a joke
You don't have to take it too seriously and offending me for it😅
Right!
Why am I watching this at 1am ,,, I don't have a baby and I'm single 😂
majda breliof Im at 12am single with no baby lol
Same I’m even paying attention
Hahahahaha
But when you'll have a baby you won't have time at 1am to learn this information
When i'm trying my baby sleep i'm the one who feel asleep
The problem isn't *getting* them to sleep, its *keeping* them asleep.
True that .
Did you watch the video? Maybe you should read the book. He goes into keeping babies asleep in great detail (hint: whooshing deep white noise and swaddling are key).
However, nothing is going to cause a newborn to sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time. Just gotta get through that newborn phase.
OMG YASSSSS 😂😂
Opposite for mine! Wont drop off but then when he does its lights out for hours
Cyanide always worked for me.
Watching this as I rock my second baby, who is 9 days old now. With my first I was wired and always trying to control everything. I regret this. With this one I'm giving us both time to adjust. I eat, rest and get help.. I'm glad when baby sleeps, but not obsessed by it. I plan my say around my babies, calm my mind & just be. Love and prayers to all parents out there - we have a most important job.
This was so nice to read 🥰
@@xobls Thank you! Hope you are well and all the best to you. We're 8 months in a few days and it gets a lot easier.
Love this comment. I have a 12 month old soon to be 13 months. It's definitely easier than the newborn stage
@@lucyavarda1742 Congratulations! And it keeps getting 'easier' as you learn more about each other and your precious one learns to communicate. Have a lovely new year
@@2010Bangie thank you, you too! 🥰
That baby was more relaxed than I’ve been in like eight years
@@DramaTV2613 I can still relate

@Dovakiin seventeen you're one of those weirdos aren't you 😂
I thought the same! It’s soo cute!!

Just @ me next time

😂😂😂😂😂
I’m a depressed broke college student who is trying to finish finals watching this while I’m 5 months pregnant 😂
Lol 😂
I'll save you all a lot of time and say put your fussy newborn in a wrap carrier on your chest and go about your day. They hear your heartbeat, are snug up against you, and your walking around is exactly what they experienced in the womb. Has worked with all 4 of my kids without fail! Good luck parents💜
Perfect 🥰💞👌 thank you
For how many months should I be doing that? Wouldn't the baby be used to that later?
Same for me, first thing I bought for my last one!
Didn't work for me haha
@@amberb8629 same, mine absolutely hates it!
The 19 dislikers are the babies who don't sleep and love to browsing around about them in youtube

😂
@Ro Pi the method is for newborn babies not toddlers
Or one realizes that the swinging and pacifier will come back to hunt you for the next year because the hand wavy "you just remove it later" is in reality much harder
Nice username 👌👌
Oh, Tony Stark became a baby whisperer then. Okay.
I thought that it was just me!! 😂😂
Not even close guys. It is clearly a mix of Adrian Brophy, Michael Douglas, Charles Dance and Toby Maguire.
😂😂😂
Teding NM RIP 3000
Yup. Looks like Ironman hung up his suit in favour of swaddling clothes. :p
Seriously nothing is more amazing than a newborn! Hard work and all they're so adorable, tiny, and innocent.
The lies you tell...the 1st year is the worst. The lack of sleep...the crying ...ugh😫
@@flick2flick it is the worst but it’s also the most incredible and it’s so short lived. I wish I can see my baby as a newborn in my arms again and treasure that moment a little more.
I’ve watched his video “the happiest baby on the block” it’s helped so much, our baby girl loves white noise and to be swaddled up, it calms her right down
*But i dont have a baby*
Hahaha
You can get one at your nearest hospital they are all over the place
Get married soon, and have a blessed life
They have the realistic baby dolls

Thats the truth.
🤣🤣🤣 This is the most hilarious comment I have ever seen 🤣🤣🤣🤣 THANK YOU!
This is so true it hurts 😂
Woke my baby up laughing to this
3 days post partum, thank you for giving this new mom some peace of mind and a few hours of sleep 😭 I couldn’t get her to stay asleep in the crib for anything and needed permission to just give her the pacifier
It’s tricky though for the first few days because they are supposed to feed constantly with no time limit to bring in your milk so unless you’re bottle-feeding, you have to be careful about sticking a pacifier in for the first week or so until breastfeeding supply is established. You’re not supposed to get much sleep the first few days, lol.
@@aubreysnyder9216 Not sleeping contributes to PPA and PPD. So everyone needs to make decisions about this depending on their mental health and the kind of support they’re getting.
My baby always hated being swaddled!! She wouldn’t stop squirming until she got her hands out 🤣 she was born at 36w5d, I couldn’t believe how she was so tiny yet so determined!
Trust me I understand. My baby is a week old. He gets his hands out of a Velcro swaddle, like how can you do that. More determination than I have.
Can totally relate! My 2week old can't handle being swaddled. She breaks free and sleeps longer out of a swaddle than in one
And my baby even starts to cry while being swaddled… lovely
@White Pride actually I do
All my kids hate it. They slept fine without it too. Plus babies show signs of hunger using hands so it's good to have hands free.
That is SUCH a cute newborn 😍
You are SUCH a beautiful woman
@@Tvo281 simp
The swaddling recommendation in this saved my wife and I last night. Our newborn was irritable from colic and his technique with the arms down allowed my son to calm down and sleep all night and almost immediately post feeding. He usually stats awake and has had trouble relaxing post feeding and then post diaper change. This is my new go to for the foreseeable future
Saved me and my husband's sanity with my our girls. I tell everyone I can about this book, and especially the football hold combined with the shushing/light bouncing. Will be forever grateful to Dr. Karp.
What book?
@@tequilabumbum4373 Happiest Baby on the Block by Dr. Harvey Karp
What about when baby is bigger and heavy to be holding like the football? 😅
All of these steps were followed and put a hysterical baby to sleep within 5-10 minutes. Amazing!!.
Swinging? Don't do it guys. If the baby gets used to it you are screwed. It won't stop crying before you start swinging 😂
Yessss i had a tough time for a year :'(
You should only do these tricks for babies who are 3 months old or younger :) you do it less and less as they get older until you can hopefully lay them down and they’ll just sleep. (As if!)
lol it was a workout to put them to sleep.
True
My 2 year old slept in a swing was rocked to sleep or slept in bed with me now first the first 7 months at 7 months she started pushing away from laying in bed with me so I’d rock her and put her in her crib at around a year she started fighting being rocked so I’d put her in bed and hold her hand when we moved her to a toddler bed at 18 months she told me night night leave so I left her in her bed and left the room and she’s gone to sleep with no crying ever since each baby is different and will develop independence on their own I’m currently co sleeping with my second child he’s 3 weeks old they only want to snuggle for so long so enjoy it
This guy writes a book ‘the happiest baby on the block’ and it’s legit the best book I ever read, when I was a new mom I followed everything he said and my kid (and kids thereafter) slept like rocks from early on.
I recommend the book to everyone!
Will it be useful for babies after 3 months
A
Thank you
His book was really a life saver ! Thank you forever Dr Karp !
Is “the baby whisperer” some kind of occupation? What subject do I need to study for it? I think that’s the only subject I would pass. 😂
Taehi Mursh you need to have a bachelors degree in whispering and ASMR
T McK thanks for informing me, my dude.
Taehi Mursh I would prob ace it too at least my mom would be proud 😂
aesthetic same man. 😂
ARMYYYY
What if you have twin boys who like to cry alot at the same time and shit everywhere at the same time lmao helpppppp
Get a baby swinger that rocks them and also makes calming sounds I guarantee they'll both go to sleep easier🙂👍🏼
I have twin boys (7 weeks). I recommend a white noise app, as It will do the shhh'ing for you. Also recommend a book called Babywise. Has kept me sane...
Goodluck!! my twin boys are 8 months now and still wake me up at night but they r a blessing! But its very hard & very different than just one baby! 👏🏼
I'm 5 months pregnant with twin boys!! Ahhhh!!
I laughed too hard at this and I’m sorry and I hope it’s gotten easier for you hun!
the best relax for a baby is the embrace of his mother , bc they hear the same heart pulse when he was inside
I started baby sitting at 12 (wouldn't do that today!) And I learned this stuff by trial and error.
Skin to skin is a great way for dads to connect
The little babes love pulling chest hair!
Tactile
I think my baby hates kisses from her dad. She shakes her head at him somexs. He must feel like a cactus. It's OK bb, I feel the same way. Ive only heard about skin contact w/the mom tho. But our guinea pigs like eating his chest hair, lol. Also, 1 time I walked in on him letting her get on his nipples. Ha, mine are inverted. He said shut up I was just trying to comfort her. I thought they were more about seeking mommy's odors (milk) & heartbeat. Bc thats what they're used to.. I'm trying now but w/ the help of some machinery & nip covers &what not. I guess I gave up to easily w/ my first.
As a nine month along pregnant lady, I totally get why they are “born early”
Same here. Comparing my sons birth weight and size vs his 3 month old weight and size I can confidently say I would have been ripped open from top to bottom 😂
When I was a baby I cried myself to sleep, 25 years later I still do.
Kelly Cao snap hahahahaha
Well dang 😒😂
poor u
How do you know when you were a baby?
Gee ,Lucky parents .
Have raised 10 newborns, and THIS is SO important and true. Some don't need all five S's but other need them all in the extreme to settle. Babies love swaddling. Never met a baby swaddled correctly with the five S's who didn't benefit from it. They will sleep SO much longer if you swaddle them.
10 ??? That's nuts!😂
My baby hates being wrapped in a blanket. As soon as I wrap her feet she starts screaming...
It definitely worked for us!! Thank you so much🥰💓
Putting a baby to sleep is not nearly as hard as keeping them asleep. OMG.
True.thts the main point
Amen!
Dealing with this now with my 10 week old 😩😭
OMG your so right. I got a 5 week old. I feel like she hate sleep sometimes.
Try the GlowDreaming thing
Perfect intro ... he said everything up front ...and then explains
What a beautiful baby that one is!!
Beautiful! Thank you!
Does this guy have a CZcams channel? I am going to be a new mama in September and this is clearly my go-to guy
None of my three kids accepted any type of pacifier. They spat them farther I thought would be possible, no matter which model I tried. But I didn't have any problems with them lying around crying, either, or not getting them to sleep. I just put them into my handsewn mei tai (for the first months heart to heart against my chest, so I could breastfeed them everywhere and at every time without any hindrances; as soon as they were able to hold their heads I carried them on my back), and got moving. They loved to be carried around, slept during me vacuuming, cleaning, going to the playground / shopping / for a walk, breastfed them as often as they wanted to, and, the most important: trusted my motherly instincts, without getting caught up in "you must let them cry", "they have to learn to sleep on their own", "you may only breastfeed every 2,5 hours", "isn't that way too hot for them to be carried like this? why don't you just put them into a stroller?" or any other well-meant tips and hints.
Of course, the first days and nights are difficult for everyone, but very soon they will find their rhythm, and you don't die when you sleep for 3 hours and then have some 30-minute long naps throughout the day for some time. Hey, congratz if they sleep 8 hours from their second day on, but it's totally okay if they don't.
I probably sound terribly insensitive and old-fashioned, but way too many people are just way too pampered and used to self-unfolding and just dancing to their own drum. And instead of doing summersaults around their fragile feelings, every one of us should have someone who tells him to get it together 'cause everything will be all right, and to put the grown-up-pants on once in a while.
I so agree
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! I’m due in March and can’t wait!
Yessssss ❤baby loves rhythmic way.... slowly swings 🎉😊 it's so magically Granny smust be walky talky ❤😊
Another major tip he didn’t mention to have your baby sleep like a pro is the darkness your babies room needs to be for sleeping proper.
I consider myself a baby whisperer, when I had my baby at 18 I was impressed with my mother instincts at a seemingly younger age.
But really the major key points I used were white noise type of things. Humidifiers and fans worked like a charm. But on top of that, making sure the sun wasn’t a thing during their slumber helped so much I couldn’t believe it.
Get the kind of curtains that block out light completely, or get crazy and hang up extra blankets over the blinds. You won’t regret the extra bit of sleep you’ll be able to scrounge in the process :D
2:52 ok, mommy had a great sleep. I think she's ready to go the party. Lols
Can't describe how relaxing this video is
Omg this is so true! I have a 7 week old baby currently and i couldn’t get her to sleep during the first few weeks until i started swaddling her. Now she sleeps up to five hours at night and wakes up without fussing. I breastfeed her and she goes straight back to sleep for another 4-5 hours. And i get the same amount of sleep at night too.
Teach me how do you do that?? My baby is 26days old she hates being swaddled. She don’t sleep well. Just keeps on screaming and crying all day long. She’s only quite while she’s being fed or she’s asleep. I am so worried 😢
@@anjuparajuli8614 don't be so hard on yourself. Are you sure you are swaddling tightly enough? this was my mistake. If you let the baby move their arms inside the swaddle. where they can fight it and get their arms up or out of the swaddle. They get frustrated and start to cry... if you wrap them snug where the arms dont move when they try to Jerk themselves awake at night. They will soothe themselves and go back to bed... to loose and those arms get any movement... they'll startle awake and start to cry.
I used to put my daughter on my chest while on the couch and out like a light no swaddling while my wife was vacuuming. Shes 5 now and still has to lay next to me for a bit before she knocks out.
If your baby is a newborn put them on your thighs while your sitting down and rock them left to right lightly they'll pass right out.
Skin to skin ?
@@xdrake8588 yes chest to chest when they're infants. Obviously as they get older you dont want to do that.
Good tips, and I love to see that they're coming from a dad. My kids have always slept with fans and/or noise machines, and they both started sleeping through the night at around 4 weeks of age. I was a nanny for three kids and did the same with them. They would nap for two to three hours every afternoon with those noise machines and fans going.
My daughter was the same way with her father. He does the chest to chest, cuddles with her & sleeps at night with her. She's 2 1/2 now. Only thing is she loves her daddy so much to the point I got booted from the bed.. She claimed her daddy😞
Btw wives find that sexy .. do it often and get some honey after 😏
Come deal with my screaming colicky baby who hates being swaddled bruh. 🤣🤣🤣
Omg I feel so bad for you lol.....my 4wk old hates being swaddled she screams her head off until her arms are free but colicky I don't wish on anyone!! Lol. Good luck❤💖
Stomach position + opposite hand passing through their legs and going from one side to the other on their stomach. Works on all colicky babies
Yeah the first two months my baby was colicky and had acid reflux bad...i thought i was going to jump off a bridge and his father wasn’t helping me at all..i was too exhausted but he’s 4 months now and only cries when he has a slight tummy ache or when he wants to be rocked to sleep 🙄🙄 and did i mention he’s 16 lbs and WANTS TO BE ROCKED TO SLEEP 😭😭😭😭
God why does colic even exist
wow I was blessed with such a good baby THANK GOD. I would never wish a colicky baby on anybody.. I can only imagine
What an INSPIRATION 💤💤 those tips with our white noise uaaauu ❤️
I am 6months pregnant. Watching this video will help me when my baby is out. My due date is on the month of December. 🥰

I an so pleasantly surprised with everything you suggest. Great vid
That’s a beautiful baby he’s singing. Yeah😍😘😍
I thankfully didn't struggle with my child when he was newborn. He barely cried and just made noises to let people know he's awake. If he did cry, a shush was enough. He slept so well and so did I.
My boy is 15 days now. And im jealous of you
How was your pregnancy? Were you really relaxed and stress free? Just wondering. My baby is a bit fussy
im guessing your baby is formula fed. mine is breastfeeding so literally have no other choice but wake up every 2 hours to feed my baby
@@chabelyarismendy4311 that doesn’t really matter.. my pregnancy was sort of calm but definitely had it’s stressful moments and my baby was born very healthy and only cries when she’s hungry and fusses when her tummy is bothering her and she needs to burp… itching too extravagant
Fun fact: Shushing mimics the echo of the mother's heartbeat in the belly
Shit down
Actually wrong, it mimics Mom's blood flow not heartbeat.
It mimics the flow from the placenta.
Not the heartbeat, it mimics the sound of the amniotic fluid
This works great thank you 😘😊❤️
Very engaging interview❤
Omg these little animations are just so freaking cute! They make me want to wake up my baby boy just to put him back to sleep 😂 🥰
Uh what

Thank you for the information 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Im a new mom of a newborn my first baby and first born. I do all these including having certain sounds around her but she is also used be asleep both dark or light or just dim light bed room. We balance co sleeping and have her in her bassinet as well between days
Aww❤️
I'm an adult but i could use these tips so i could fall asleep. I'll start with the pacifier! 😀
This is amazing!!!!!!!!
💀 My baby won't suck on a pacifier. He'll just latch onto me and go to sleep and I'm stuck likevthat for hours.
Currently me, did it get better?
Same hereeee
Omg now I understand why it's so comforting to sleep in the car on a road trip!!
Lauryn Marie comfortable until you have to poop
Wow this is so insightful. Thank you so much
Thank you for your video🙏
This is a great video! It's always helpful to have some tips and techniques for getting a baby to sleep, as it can be one of the most challenging aspects of parenting. It's important to remember that every baby is different, and what works for one may not work for another. It's also crucial to be patient and consistent, as it can take time for a baby to develop good sleep habits. Thank you for sharing these useful tips!
This is my second child and I still look to learn new stuff , if anyone is a new parent hang in there ! The crying and stuff is tough but it will be over in no time and then you will miss the baby stage.... enjoy the innocent little baby and just try to be the best parent you can be...don't get mad at the baby for crying.
Thank you so much I'm just trying to help my mom 😊
This worked amazingly
Great video! My firstborn sucked his thumb for about 4 years. I successfully managed to get my second baby to suck a pacifier. My firstborn is now 14 years and has perfect teeth, my second child is 12 and we're bracing ourselves for serious orthodontic work!🙈
Watching this in the hopes I'd find something to help keep my newborn asleep at the moment. She hates swaddling and then she likes it sometimes. The minute I lay her down in her bassinet, 10 minutes later she starts crying. Every night this has been a routine now. I'm not sure when I can stop rocking her enough that she'll fall into a deep sleep I just set her down on my soft bedding and she loves it (and stays asleep of course) but I can't have her in my bed so now I'm stuck.
Great video! Thank you
Amazing, wish i saw this 5 months ago... Thats for the tips boss
the tears looked like confetti
Very informative... 💡
That baby is hypnotized
My dad is a expert in this...
He was the one who made me sleep very deeply and I still see him do the same with other kids..
He really makes everyone sleep.. sometimes with soft voice.
Sometimes shaking them.
Sometimes he turns them and shakes.
Sometimes he do something that can make them sleepy in a crying or angry moment of kids.....
I think am doing better in getting our first born to sleep than my wife😅
I’ve just had my 4th hes 3 weeks old. My best advice for getting to sleep?! Make sure ALL wind is brought up first. I’ve always sleep trained good habits from day one or I’ll go insane. You can never spoil a newborn anyway so if it means you have to put baby on your chest to hear your heart beating to get them to sleep then so be it :) enjoy these moments
Wow I leaned a lot. Thanks a lot doc😊
Man this looks great. I'm due with my first in the fall.🥰🤰🏿cant wait to fry this and hopefully share on my page
Wow .... the music is nice and.... ibdunno whay else

Thank you!
My little man screams when he's in a swaddle with his arms restricted! Love to dream swaddles have saved my sanity!
Swaddling yes. I can't tell you how many new mom's didn't see it as anything special. When I was babysitting they all slept for me bc I tucked them in tight and gave them their pacie and quietly whisper/sang to them. Boom sleeping baby. 👼
Awesome!!!
Such cute animation!

When I swaddle my baby boy, he tries to get rid off it. 🤣
The best vdo ever watched.
This expert is great! Love what he says :)
Thanks ☺️
His book became my bible when I had my daughter, helped me so much!
I’ve been doing it right all along 😊 My baby boy sleeps longer when he is being swaddled with a pacifier sometimes without. After I freshen him up by wiping with a cloth soaked in warm water, I feed him and 15 minutes after feeding and burping, I would just put him on the bed and he will just sleep on his own.
I always put our 4 babies to sleep on their side & blocked their body so they couldn't roll into their stomach. So if they spit up while in their bed, they couldn't choke on it if stuck on their back. They often feel asleep nursing while I slept on my side, the baby on the outside of the bed not between us. Only for a couple weeks. As soon as they could sleep ok in their own room, yay! 5 weeks with me with our first baby. 4 weeks with #2. 3 weeks with #3, and I got the 4th trained in only 2 weeks to sleep in the baby's room. I did have a bassinet next to my bed to help with training. I found that one arm down straight & one arm up was the most soothing, but unfortunately that allowed thumb sucking to become a habit for too many years, so if I had it to do over, I would do both arms down!
