This class is for expectant parents, and parents of young babies who would like to learn techniques for calming and soothing a baby. It is based on the highly effective, 5 step approach to calming crying, and encouraging sleep, pioneered by Dr. Harvey Karp in his best-selling book and DVD.

In my Happiest Baby on the Block Class, you will learn step-by-step how to help your baby sleep better and how to soothe even the fussiest baby in minutes…even seconds!

You will learn:

  • Why the idea that colic is due to gas pains is mostly an old wives’ tale
  • Why keeping the house quiet may actually be upsetting to many newborns
  • Why most babies get more upset in the evening
  • Why it’s impossible to spoil young babies
  • An easy way to help infants sleep a few hours more at night
  • Why fathers/partners are often the best baby-calmers in the family

Topics Covered:
The Missing “4th Trimester”
The Calming Reflex
The 5 “S’s”
The Cuddle Cure
