This class is based on the highly effective, 5 step approach to calming and soothing baby, pioneered by Dr. Harvey Karp in his best-selling book and DVD.

In our Happiest Baby Class, expectant parents and parents of young babies* will learn step-by-step how to help their baby sleep better and how to soothe even the fussiest baby in minutes...even seconds!
 

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 hours more at night
 • Why fathers are often the best baby-calmers in the family

Cost is $45 per family. This includes a copy of the DVD or videotape for you to take home for later practice. Class is held at the Great Starts Office in the Eastlake neighborhood of Seattle.

It's OK to bring baby to class! And it's OK if they cry during class - gives us a chance to see the techniques in action!

Instructor: Jennifer McArthur is a certified doula, postpartum doula, and certified Happiest Baby on the Block educator.

*This class can be taken before baby's birth, or anytime in the first two months. (Techniques are most effective for babies in their "fourth trimester" - the first three months of life.)

Another option for parents struggling with crying and sleep issues is Parent Consulting with Ann Keppler.
