Dec 2007: Products that Mimic the Womb

Transitioning from the Womb to the World is one of the first challenges for a baby. Parents can help make this transition easier through a variety of different methods and products. Dr. Harvey Karp named the first 3 months of a newborns life the "4th trimester" and offers a variety of techniques for soothing your newborn. It is important to keep in mind that each baby is unique and it is key for parents to learn to read their baby's cue, to help determine which methods and products are best. Experts agree that it is usually a combination of several methods and products that will help to accomplish this task and that there is really no one "magic bullet".
