Happiest Baby on the Bl0ck

 

Taught by Jennifer McArthur & Debra Shelden

 

The first 3 months of your baby’s life, often referred to as the “4th trimester” are quite challenging and exhausting for new parents.  Your baby is learning to survive out in the world.  She needs you to help her gently transition to life on the outside by being fed often, being held, rocked, cuddled and loved. 

 

The Happiest Baby on the Block is based on the concept of the “4th trimester”.  When parents use the “5’s” which are taught in the class, they are recreating the comforting aspects of life in the womb.

 

Parents will also 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 more hours at night

 

The cost for this 2 hour class is $55 and includes a Happiest Baby on the Block DVD and a Soothing Sounds CD.  It is recommended that anyone who will be caring for your baby attend the class.  Babies are welcome!
