CALMS – An effective way to soothe babies

C - Check in with yourself

A – Allow a breath

L – Listen to your baby

M – Mirror your baby

S – Soothe your baby

Several years ago my friend and mentor, Debby Takikawa, producer and director of the film What Babies Want, and I  wrote and self-published a little book called CALMS A Guide to Soothing Your Baby. Fortunately and unfortunately we have since sold all of the books we printed. We have a re-write in the works titled What Babies Want: Calming and Communicating with Your Baby which will be available later this year. We hope. Since the original book is out of print I thought I would offer you all a .pdf I made that I share with clients and workshop participants that explains the how’s and why’s of CALMS. Please feel free to download it by clicking this link: CALMS Contey.
