BBTH offers a gentle, supportive approach to parents/caregivers sleep, feeding, developmental concerns and everyday care. Recognizing a baby’s behavior and body language helps parents to respond to their baby’s needs sensitively, fostering a sense of security. Studies show that this sense of security promotes earlier independence in life.
By understanding and supporting your baby’s physical and behavioral development through daily activities such as dressing, bathing, feeding, playing, comforting, and settling to sleep, you create a less stressful environment for both the baby and everyone involved.
