Carmels newborn guide saved us with our second baby! I wish we had it for our first. This is such a valuable item to have for first time (and second time) parents. It has all the information you need as well as everything they don’t tell you in the hospital. We were so much more confident the second time because of this guide. Thank you Calm Babies!

I can’t recommend Carmel enough as a sleep consultant! She truly has the magic touch. Carmel helped both my boys—first, when my eldest was 2 and we were expecting a newborn, and then again with our newborn. Despite having learned so much from her the first time, it wasn’t until I reached out to her for our second child that everything clicked into place. Her guidance was invaluable and the newborn guide is just as amazing!
What sets Carmel apart is her unwavering availability. She’s always just a phone call away, ready to help us navigate through any sleep regressions or growth spurts. Carmel is genuine, understanding, and highly skilled. Whenever I hear someone mention they’re struggling with their babies’ or toddlers’ sleep, Carmel is the first person I tell them about. Her expertise has made a world of difference in our family’s life. Thank you, Carmel, for everything!”

This Calm Babies new Newborn Guide was exactly what we needed to refresh our knowledge and skills as second-time parents after almost 4 years since having our first child. As they say all babies are different and this Newborn Guide has been invaluable to help with transitioning to being a family of four and all getting the rest we need throughout the day and night. Thank you Carmel for your amazing support – you truly are magical!
