I would recommend reading the book. It has some great settling techniques and isn't about getting bubs into a strict routine. I also borrowed it from the library because I had heard that it was good but didn't want to buy it. He has an interesting theory about colic and that babies need a 4th trimester. He also has another book baby bliss which i also borrowed but it seems to be pretty much the same and i didn't have time to read it.
I have also read Pinky Mckay 100 ways to calm the crying and i didn't really get as many tips out of it, but worth a read if you can find the time.
Good luck!
I didn't mind 'Happiest Baby' - I watched the DVD and took a couple of tips from it. Kind of goes to why babies like to be held, rocked, cuddled while they're young and my DD really loved his 'head jiggling' technique and the swing we had for her (best way to get a proper shower!). Maybe I've forgotten, but I don't remember the DVD even mentioning a routine, it was mostly about settling.
But Pinky is excellent, so I'd go for her book first!
