New babies are such a blessing, but they can also bring with them sleepless nights, crying, and sometimes quite a bit of extra stress. In our Happiest Baby Class new and expectant parents will learn step-by-step how to help their baby sleep better and how to soothe even the fussiest baby in minutes...even seconds!
Our class is based on the highly effective, new approach to babies pioneered by Dr. Harvey Karp in his best-selling book and DVD, "The Happiest Baby on the Block."
Topics covered include:
* The Missing 4th Trimester
* The Calming Reflex
* The 5 S's
* What is colic
* Why most babies get more upset in the evening.
Newborn (0-4months) welcome in class. Please bring your swaddle blankets and velcro wraps.
