1) The BabyCalmTM baby calming parenting course. Starting March 7th 1.30 - 3.30 in Fulwood, Sheffield
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!
"Just a little note to say thank you, Samuel and I have really enjoyed the BabyCalm classes over the last few weeks and I feel it has made a real difference to us both - we're much more calm and happier and colic free - thank you!" - Kerry and baby Samuel (12 wks)
This course is most suited to newborn babies from birth to 20 weeks of age. Price - £65 for four x 2 hour group sessions (Includes BabyCalm cd, massage oil and many handouts for home reference)
2) The BabyCalmTM colic and crying workshop - by arrangement to your convenience.
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!
"Thank you so much for your help yesterday, it was absolutely invaluable - I'm pleased to report she stayed calm all afternoon, no more colic! and we got 6 hours straight sleep for the first time ever, I couldn't believe it!" - Ellie and baby Jessica (4 wks)
This workshop is most suited to newborn babies from birth to 10 weeks of age. Price - £30 (3 hour class) when taken in a group setting. Or £75 for 3 hour individual home visit (If within 15miles from S33 9JA - extra mileage charged at 50p/mile)

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.

We even managed to calm my niece's crying when she visited on Sunday, my family couldn't believe it - they wanted to know where we had learnt all of the techniques! we can't wait for our baby to arrive now, we feel sure she will be a happy and calm baby!" - Becky and James (38wks pregnant).
