| Dr. Karp is an inspired speaker, passionate about his subject, helping parents who have to deal with persistent and demoralising crying of their new-born infants. I was intrigued by The Happiest Baby theory with its common sense approach and how easy it seemed. After the presentation I was able to discuss the concept with Dr. Karp and I mentioned to him that we had been using some of his techniques in maternity ward nurseries in the UK 20 years earlier! He was amused by this and said he certainly wasn't claiming to be the first person to use these particular calming methods - it was more about putting a sequence of time honoured, tried and tested techniques together that triggered (what he calls) the calming reflex. |

With Dr.Karp's encouragement I decided to enrol in, and subsequently become an educator of The Happiest Baby in the UK. I have been a credited instructor in baby calming (Happiest Baby) since 2007. I am enthusiastic and totally committed to Dr. Karp's techniques and to helping parents learn these amazing skills which enable them to: calm their babies more easily and thus enjoy this very special time with their newborn infants I have three wonderful sons, but two of them were restless babies and I only wish I had been aware of the calming techniques when they were newborns. |
