Babycalm Braintree offers the following courses: 1) The BabyCalmTM baby calming parenting course. A unique 4 week (8 hour) course, designed for new mothers and babies, incorporating baby calming and communication skills, interactive class discussion of many topics that new mums commonly face (such as birth debriefing, baby feeding worries, bonding with your baby, baby colic, baby reflux, constipation and wind in babies, lack of sleep and concerns about the health and wellbeing of their new baby) and baby touch therapy - a light baby massage routine developed by BabyCalmTM. The classes will help you to bond with your new baby, help him or her to be a calm and happy baby, free of colic, and help you to experience a stress free relationship of trust, confidence and calm. Led by experienced BabyCalmers, our classes also provide an invaluable opportunity for you to make new friends with other local mums. If you would like to learn to trust your own maternal instinct rather than follow rules and routines set out by experts such as Gina Ford, Tizzie Hall and Jo Tantum this is the course for you! This course is most suited to newborn babies from birth to 20 weeks of age 2) The BabyCalmTM colic and crying workshop This workshop is intended as an emergency "one off" class to help new parents whose babies are suffering from prolonged crying and/or baby colic and fretful sleep. Your teacher will firstly help you to understand why your baby is so unsettled and then demonstrate many techniques and tools to help your baby settle, calm colic and sleep better! BabyCalmTM are experts at helping parents to understand why their baby is unhappy and giving them the tools to have a calm and happy baby as well as confidence in their own instincts and abilities. This baby class is often a lightbulb moment for new parents with many commenting that they wish they had known about us before their baby was born or they had read a stream of baby books all giving different advice! For our BabyCalmers this is perhaps the most rewarding class to teach as the results are so astoundingly quick, parents literally walk out with a different calm baby and a smile on their face! This workshop can also be taught privately in your own home as we understand how difficult it can be to get out with a new baby - we are very used to seeing new mums in their pyjamas! Please contact your nearest teacher for more details. This workshop is most suited to newborn babies from birth to 10 weeks of age 3) The BabyCalmTM antenatal workshop This workshop is designed to introduce new parents to reasons that babies are commonly unsettled, including an explanation of baby colic and common reasons babies cry, helping them to understand their baby before they are even born! You will learn how to be a confident mum or dad able to welcome your baby into a world where they are calmer and more settled and be armed with many techniques to make your baby's transition from womb to world as smooth and comfortable as possible, avoid colic and aid sleep for the whole family. You will learn how to calm a crying baby and soothe colic as well as the secrets of how to get more sleep at night and how to get your baby to nap easily during the day. Dads are actively encouraged to attend this workshop, we focus heavily on the importance of fathers and roles that dads may play to support the mother and bond with their baby. This workshop is most suited to couples between 30weeks and 38weeks of pregnancy. 4) The BabyCalmTM babywearing workshop - Coming soon! This workshop is designed to introduce new parents to the joys of babywearing. Carrying a baby in a sling is one of the most effective ways of calming a baby from birth, aiding their physical and psychological development, encouraging bonding and giving parents back two hands again! Your BabyCalmTM teacher will explain all of these benefits in great detail and help you to understand the myriad of different baby slings on the market and select one most suited to your needs. They will then demonstrate different carrying positions and slings including a wrap sling, a pouch sling, a mei tai and a soft structured carrier giving you the opportunity to have a play too! Dads are actively encouraged to attend this workshop, we spend a lot of time helping dads to realise how wonderful babywearing can be for them and why the popular "masculine" baby carriers on the market in mainstream stores, such as a Baby Bjorn, may not be the best choice for them. This workshop is most suited to couples at anytime during pregnancy and after birth. Please note this workshop is not offered by all BabyCalm teachers, please contact us for details of your nearest babywearing workshop. 5) The BabyCalmTM baby led weaning workshop - Coming soon! This workshop is designed to introduce parents to the concept of baby led weaning, a method of introducing food to your baby following their lead and cues. Your BabyCalmTM teacher will help you to understand current weaning guidelines and how the idea of babies feeding themselves and having control over their diet can lead to less fussy, healthier eaters which can impact long into adulthood. We will cover the science behind baby led weaning and give many ideas of food options for both home and away.
