Introducing the unique concept of BabyCalm

BabyCalm is a unique concept, presented through UK wide classes and literature, which aims to empower new parents to raise their baby with confidence. BabyCalm helps new parents understand how to calm their baby's crying, avoid colic and aid restful sleep. Turning crying babies and stressed parents into calmer babies and happier parents.

There is a vast amount of pregnancy and birth support available in the UK, but a real lack of support available to new parents with very young babies.  Many new parents are left to muddle through the trickiest time in early parenthood alone. The time when babies cry lots and sleep little, the time of colic and tears (and not just the baby's!), the time where most new mums are frantically searching prescriptive books written by childless so called experts for the answer to their tiring and distressing days and nights. Most of these books focus on prescriptive routines and products to aid separation of mother and baby, despite having little or no scientific evidence to back up their claims. Sometimes the advice given even goes against current guidelines (including FSIDs, WHO and UNICEF) and can pose a real physiological harm to the baby, not to mention the psychological impact upon the mother and the inner turmoil she feels when the advice goes against her maternal instincts.

BabyCalm feel these books and parenting experts disempower new parents who feel they lack the natural empathy and understanding of the author, feeling the need to look to others to advise them on how to care for their own baby, when in fact our best experts are our own instincts! BabyCalm strive to help parents to not only calm and understand their babies, but to help them to trust their instincts and confidently make their own parenting decisions without relying on somebody else's routines or manuals. BabyCalm present the evidence in an easy to understand way, honestly discuss the pros and cons of different approaches so that parents can feel secure in their own informed choices and have their instincts validated.
