When Mary Lebeau first watched Dr. Harvey Karp on ABC's Good Morning America, she was a bit skeptical. She'd always swaddled her infants, but felt some of Karp's other baby calming methods were just plain odd.

"The shushing seems a bit off the mark, on the surface," says Lebeau, mother of five from West Deptford, N.J. "After all, wouldn't saying shush firmly in a child's ear keep her awake? But as I learned from reading further about Dr. Karp's techniques, shush is quite like the sound babies hear in the womb, so it comforts them to hear it."

"I've found it works wonders in lulling Libby to sleep," Lebeau says of her youngest child. "I wish I had known about Dr. Karp back when my other children were tiny!"

Dr. Harvey Karp has created quite a stir in the world of pediatrics. While many pediatricians believe that Dr. Karp's methods aren't all that new or revolutionary (swaddling has been around for as long as babies), most give Dr. Karp a nod for putting the methods all together into one cohesive system.
