So, I asked my OB/GYN and pediatrician about this technique, and they BOTH said it is fine for the baby as it mimics the comforting sounds of the womb. Should I trust all of these doctors who have posted negative comments here more?
Great video. You must have had one of those "happiest babies."
if he was choking her she wouldn't she be purple and not breathing? if he was hurting her ears wouldn't she cry more instead of being soothed? maybe you guys should consider reading or watching the dvd of The Happiest Baby on the block and learning what the 5's are and why he is doing what he is doing with his daughter before you make your ignorant comments.
Maybe you should not blow so hard in a new born's ear. Hopefully that beautiful child won't end up with ear damage or ear infections from dad's germs. I wouldn't call your technique the baby whisperer but the baby dominatrix. Maybe you let that child express herself, so she won't be submissive as an adult. Just a thought.
I don't see anything wrong with this at all! Wish I'd known about it 30 years ago when my kids were babies. Bravo Mom and Dad!!! Gee, I wonder if this works when you're an adult too?? LOL!!!
I see we just can't get rid of those morons with the mentality of a HOUSE PLANT!!!..the baby is so beautiful and the talking in the ear is very very calming to an infant...so Daddy...you did the right thing and i applaud you for not giving these shitheads much attention...God Bless all of you,
You people who think this is too loud for the baby it is NOT. The decibel rating of womb's continuous maternal bloodpulse is 95! A chainsaw is 100. A lawnmower is 90. A subway is 80. Figure it out.
God ppl, babies don't generally grow quieter when they feel an unpleasent sensation, they get louder. ever listen to a sick baby, or one getting a shot? they scream thier heads off. if this were hurting her she wouldn't be growing calmer.
thats not a babywhisperer. hes a special forces soldier who used to be in my team. thats his special technique "sleeperhold". he used to to this to soldiers we caught. and to the hostages we took. ey come on buddy. just tell the people the truth, its just a trick i showed you.
My parents used to do this to me too, said they learned it from the hospital nurse back in the day. There are tons of videos and information on it. What youre doing is what they hear and feel in the womb, so naturally its calming to them =]
I see the discussion here about the sound if it is hurting her hearing or not. I am a medical student with pediatric/obstetric training - and it's a easy way to figure this one out! YOU try to do the same directly into some else's ear - it is in fact extremely loud and a VERY disturbing noise. Please don't do this. It may not affect her hearing in the long run, but it certainly hurt when you are doing it! A infant reacts to ongoing pain by becoming paralyzed with shock = it becomes quiet!
Love it! What a great dad. Don't bother with the internet trolls, I'm old enough to have grandbabies and I can tell you nothing it wrong with gently blowing in the ear unless they already have a problem. Besides anyone who watches the video can tell he's exaggerating the shhhhhhhh sound and not doing it by blowing hard...sweet baby.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
THIS GUY IS A FUCKING IDIOT. YOU DON'T SHHHHHH THAT CLOSE AND THAT LOUD TO THE BABY'S EAR. YOU ARE DOING NOTHING BUT DAMAGING HER EAR DRUMS. YOU NEVER DO THAT INTO THE BABY'S EARS. I JUST SHOWED THIS TO A PEDIATRICIAN AND HIS WORDS WERE "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT GUY THINK HE IS DOING."
@TheRecordead It works on adults as well. The hushing resembles a slow breath rate which the body unconsciously will replicate thus bringing the body in a more relaxed state.
To the people who think he's harming her ears... the sound of the the blood rushing around the womb is FAR louder. That's why they love vacuums, hair driers, etc. Loud white noise... just like the womb... The swaddle is the same idea, make it feel tight and confined. Works great for some babies. (For a while anyway.)
brilliant people... yes, i'm CHOKING and simultaneously destroying my daughter's ears! What a great technique eh? For all you conspiracy theorists, I'm happy to report that my daughter, now 4 years old has all of her hearing capabilities intact.... and she has never had an ear infection. I like to think that I was injecting, good healthy antibodies directly into her ear canal. So all you overly concerned ninnies can take a big deep sigh of relief and continue watching your cat videos.
it is so precious how her tiny little head fits in the crest of your hand. this is soooooooooooo lovely.....the pug is cute too.
and the way she looks at you when she has calmed down. omg. uncoditional love! its lovely to see things like this in world that is easy to be angry at.
OMG, please don't do that directly into the baby's ear. Also great to swaddle, but I don't like to sleep on bumps; so please no lumps of material under the back from swaddling.
@Babiesfriend You moron. How embarrassing for you that you think you know about babies. This Dad is doing a great job, shut your crab hole and mourn your dusty/non-existent uterus elsewhere.
It really works.. I tried it on two babies. one of the babies was sick w/asthma talk about in pain :-( trust and believe when I did this little one was knocked out within one minute. The little girl lol kept climbing on me for more whispers. I guess its calming to them
poor thing...the cry comes from his past life experience.....everything that happens to us in this lifetime has to come from a past life that causes trouble in our lives...
whatcha all moaning for i thought that was just brilliant, sweet mum and dad,:) you would do anything for your baby anything at all i thought this was very very sweet stop moaning
I hum "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" into my baby's kneck. My husband runs the water to sooth her. They both work. Blowing air into anyones ear seems off to me.
According to the dunstanbaby method, this baby is actually telling you she has gas so 'shushing' in her ear only works as a distraction. You are not getting to the cause of the issue.
Um, no. That is not true of all babies. Gas pains come and go and some baby;s can be temporarily distracted so your comment to mine is not necessarily true.
so then what is wrong with distracting baby from a fleeting issue? would you prefer mom and dad just let her scream? she was fine after he was done shushing, so if it was gas, she was obviously no longer in pain from it or she still would be crying.
You must be "special" or your reading comprehension is impaired. I already said it is not getting to the cause of the issue. Sure, a distraction is fine but she would just be crying again soon. You made a statement which was inaccurate, by calling out a post I made 2 months ago and I responded, period.
So what do you suggest instead? If she started crying again, I am sure that the parents would realize that their methods were not working AT THAT POINT, and give gas drops, pump her legs, do whatever they needed to do. My problem with your comment is that it is a know-it-all comment, that leaves no room for the possibility that the child could just be cranky or tired for no reason, and that the parents are actually doing what is best for their little girl.
I already said what I suggested. Once again, you are unable to pass basic reading comprehension. I mentioned the Dunstanbaby method which is not full proof, but very helpful. So is the 'Happiest Baby on the Block.' You are so ridiculous that further dialog with you would be a waste of time and brain cells. All you want to do is argue instead of ACTUALLY READ, what I wrote. Good day.
The Dunstan Baby Language model simply explains how to tell what the baby is complaining of- if you believe in that model. However, it does not explain WHAT TO DO once you know. All I am suggesting is that the father in this video is doing nothing wrong, even if that baby is saying "Eairh". I don't see what's wrong with calming a baby down before addressing the underlying issue, IF the issue is gas to begin with. In my experience, babies are unable to pass gas if they are screaming and tense
only the sound of the blowing is soothing, not the actual blowing into the ear, best off recording a running tap or a hair dryer........also saves your time of blowing in someones ear lol
Must've read "Happiest Baby on the Block". It savedus. Have now read "Aware baby" and know it is ok to cry sometimes But at the time just wanted to make him happy and less fussy. Also, took him to a competent chiropractor beginning 2 months -BIG help! 4 hours pushing in labor had left his neck sore. by the end of the day he had trouble nursing. Dr. wanted PT but Chiro was all he needed. now sleeps through the night just fine. Those early months do end:)
I'm impressed. I'm not a mommy yet, but I will be this winter and any little technique that might work for a fussy baby I'm willing to make note of. Thanks for sharing.
This technique DOES work! I learned it (and so did this father) from Dr. Karp. He has a series of videos and CDs called "The Happiest Baby" on the block (google it yo!)....I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
I would not recommend blowing into the ear. It is very possible to unknowingly blow something into there that could cause an infection or irritation to their ear canal or drum.
Doesn't take medical experience to understand logic. We don't bleed people anymore do we? HOw about putting maggots on an open wound? Take it as you like. The medical field is still lacking in common sense. Are you a pediatrician?
i was reading an article that toke me to this vid. when i was watching it, i get worried if this baby would ever developed an otitis, i hope not, 'cause her daddy was doing it with love and care. not a pediatrician, but a kindergarten teatcher. also had someone blowing to my ears and din't like it at all. you should ask someone to do it to you and then tell us how you felt. your ear should be old enough to resist! take care!
After the initial strangeness, I wouldn't find it unpleasant if it was done into my ear, no. it's NOT blowing into the ear with your mouth sealed on it - it's just a shhing sound NEXT to the ear.
If the child found it distressing, they'd continue to cry. Quite logical, really.
And since I typed that message, I've had my third child, and the technique works wonderfully! :) So now I have experience as well as the advice of trained medical professionals about it.
LOL. I meant womb. LOL. I find myself doing that a lot lately when typing fast. I may right "are" instead or "or" or "Want" as oppose to "Won't" or vice versa. But thanks for bring that to my attention. I'm really a literate man. as oppose to a "literal" man. LOL
From what I understand it helps to mimick the security and sounds of being in the wound. The confined space of the uterus and the swoosh swoosh sound of the heart beat and amniotic fluids have become a source of comfort over the months inside the uterus.
It's more like the sound of the mother breathing that the baby is hearing. Running water also works as it replicates the fluid sounds within the womb.
Dr. Karp's Method works so great, doesn't it? This is why I recommend the Happiest Baby on the Block to everyone--it really works! (Not the baby whisperer, though, her book sucks)
She's such a good girl! For one second in the middle of the video I almost thought he was my aunt's boyfriend with my cousin Emily (when she was smaller). Gosh that is such a neat trick! ^-^
GOOD JOB DAD! OMG! This is the cutest and almost awe-inspiring video. You can really tell you love her. This is a perfect family video w/ dog mom baby dad in one of 'those' moments. If we have another one of our own, can we fly you in from Texas?
It's called swaddling. Newborn babies do not have control of their limbs and often like the feeling of being snug and secure. The book "The Happiest Baby on the Block" by Dr. Harvey Karp dicusses techniques just like the ones used in the video.
Placing them next to a running sink gives the same comfort... well, of course the only downside is that you'd waste some water.

I would not recommend blowing into the ear. It is very possible to unknowingly blow something into there that could cause an infection or irritation to their ear canal or drum.

Are you actually speaking from any kind of medical experience? Because I've seen a trained paediatrician use this technique.
KissekattX 3 years ago
Trained pediatricians perform abortions too.
alwcurlz 3 years ago
I'll take that as a no then.
KissekattX 3 years ago
Doesn't take medical experience to understand logic. We don't bleed people anymore do we? HOw about putting maggots on an open wound? Take it as you like. The medical field is still lacking in common sense. Are you a pediatrician?
alwcurlz 3 years ago
No, but I know I can trust the techniques of a trained doctor over someone who pulls baseless cautions out of their rear end.
I'm sure you'll want to get into some anti-scientific arguments about how doctors can't be trusted, but I'm really not interested.
I'm just glad readers now know they don't need to needlessly worry over your invented 'caution'.

Sorry, didn't know you were a trained doctor. What hospital do you work at?

i was reading an article that toke me to this vid. when i was watching it, i get worried if this baby would ever developed an otitis, i hope not, 'cause her daddy was doing it with love and care. not a pediatrician, but a kindergarten teatcher. also had someone blowing to my ears and din't like it at all. you should ask someone to do it to you and then tell us how you felt. your ear should be old enough to resist! take care!

After the initial strangeness, I wouldn't find it unpleasant if it was done into my ear, no. it's NOT blowing into the ear with your mouth sealed on it - it's just a shhing sound NEXT to the ear.
If the child found it distressing, they'd continue to cry. Quite logical, really.
And since I typed that message, I've had my third child, and the technique works wonderfully! :) So now I have experience as well as the advice of trained medical professionals about it.

Turning on the water sink is way better than blowing in the ear lol, that works too

LOL. I meant womb. LOL. I find myself doing that a lot lately when typing fast. I may right "are" instead or "or" or "Want" as oppose to "Won't" or vice versa. But thanks for bring that to my attention. I'm really a literate man. as oppose to a "literal" man. LOL

From what I understand it helps to mimick the security and sounds of being in the wound. The confined space of the uterus and the swoosh swoosh sound of the heart beat and amniotic fluids have become a source of comfort over the months inside the uterus.
dvirgil 3 years ago
It's more like the sound of the mother breathing that the baby is hearing. Running water also works as it replicates the fluid sounds within the womb.

Why oh why do people wrap babies like that? They need to move their limbs.
susan2410k 3 years ago
It's called swaddling. Newborn babies do not have control of their limbs and often like the feeling of being snug and secure. The book "The Happiest Baby on the Block" by Dr. Harvey Karp dicusses techniques just like the ones used in the video.

would that not be hard on the babies ear?
1curt12 4 years ago
No, it doesn't hurt the baby's ear. it's nothing compared to what they hear in the womb.
It's the ultimate calming technique.
