Happiest Baby on the Block™
Trusted by doctors & millions of parents.
In this training, caregivers learn what is needed to know to quickly boost parent confidence and teach valuable skills to quickly calm most crying and to promote better, safer sleep.
The Happiest Baby™ promotes three critical concepts based on Dr. Harvey Karp’s insights into infant development:
The Missing 4th Trimester – During the first three months after birth, babies need many hours of rocking and holding, mimicking the constant nurturing they enjoyed in the womb.
The Calming Reflex – A newly observed, neonatal reflex that can soothe a young baby’s crying.
The 5 S’s – Five specific ways to imitate the womb and turn on the Calming Reflex.
