Dr. Harvey Karp, renowned pediatrician, explains how calming even the fussiest infants is easy once you can see the world from their point of view. In the womb, babies are continually fed, shushed, jiggled and cuddled. After birth they are often left alone, in almost total stillness, for hours a day! This abrupt change can trigger waves of crying which may erode a parent's confidence and lead to exhaustion, breastfeeding failure, marital stress, postpartum depression and even abuse. No wonder so many parents and babies have trouble adjusting during those first three months. As certified educators of The Happiest Baby, TLC Newborn family associates teach Dr. Karp's methods to expecting and new parents at Partners in Women's Health - The Missing 4th Trimester, The Calming Reflex, The Five S's, The Cuddle Cure. New parents learn step-by-step how to help babies sleep longer and how to soothe even the fussiest infant. Is it magic? A miracle? No, it's a reflex!
