The Happiest Baby on the Block 

The Happiest Baby approach finally explains what colic is and more importantly teaches parents how to calm almost any crying baby in minutes...or seconds!

When used, the skills learned in this workshop will :

  • Improve parental bonding.
  • Improve father participation.
  • Improve nursing success rates for mothers.

The 5 S's will save many women from nursing failure because crying babies lead to:

  • Poor let down.
  • Stress and fatigue that in turn causes poor milk production.
  • Loss of confidence in nursing.
  • Resenting nursing when the only way to calm the baby is breastfeeding.
  • Pressure from others to stop nursing.

The Happiest Baby workshops have also been shown to:

  • Help prevent Post Partum Depression.
  • Help prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome. Infant crying is the precipitator of 95% of episodes of infant shaking...teaching baby calming skills has the potential of preventing situations that lead to Shaken Baby Syndrome
