Product Details

Many of us no longer have the support of the village we once did when a new baby arrives.
Today, it’s often up to couples to independently gather information on everything that matters in those first weeks and months – and it can be overwhelming. Especially in an age of information overload, it’s hard to separate facts from opinions that aren’t grounded in research.

Yet these first months are so crucial – not just for forming a bond with your baby, but for how you, as a parent, experience the start of parenthood.

The good news? You can prepare.
You can prepare for potential feeding struggles, for managing baby sleep, and for soothing a baby who seems impossible to calm – all in a way that’s grounded in evidence, not guesswork.

The Baby Basics Blueprint is a set of modules focused on the essential foundations:
feeding, sleeping and soothing your baby.

This course translates leading research into practical, real-life guidance –  so you can stop second-guessing and start parenting with calm, clarity, and confidence.

What You’ll Learn

  • The science of feeding – including all things breastfeeding and bottle-feeding, with practical answers for every method

  • The truth about baby sleep – what the evidence really says about sleep training, co-sleeping, regressions, and why babies sleep the way they do

  • Proven soothing techniques – ways to calm a crying baby (even when nothing else seems to work), plus the latest research on colic and why it happens

And so much more – all grounded in research and designed to help you feel calm, confident, and prepared during the biggest transition of your life.

 

Perfect for babies from 0-12 months. Check our full class for 0-18 months.
