About BabyCalm™ 

 

BabyCalm™ was founded in 2007 by Sarah Ockwell-Smith, a mother of four from Essex UK. BabyCalm™ is now taught by a babycalmers in England, Scotland, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and here in the UAE.

 

The BabyCalm™ approach is a gentle style of parenting that seeks to understand why babies behave and develop in the way they do. Our classes offer strong support & understanding that is empowering & confidence-giving,  they are common-sense, non judgmental and everything we talk about draws heavily on well-researched and documented techniques.

 

By choosing the BabyCalm method, parents are given the knowledge, and the confidence, to trust their instincts, listen to their child’s signals and enjoy their special time together. 

 

 

 

 

Love Parenting Your Newborn: The Antenatal Workshop

 

This 3-hour workshop is designed to help parents-to-be or new parents begin to understand why newborn babies are fussy, so likely to cry so much and sleep so little and why they are really only happy in your arms. In addition to showing you ways to calm a crying baby we will show you how to cope with colic and how to encourage your baby to sleep better.  Unlike many of your parenting books, we don’t believe there is one right way to care for your baby, so we will provide a range of ideas and suggestions and will encourage and empower you to choose your own path and trust your own heart.  This workshop will help you begin your parenthood adventure feeling confident and prepared!

 

What you will learn:
