Have you heard of the fourth trimester?
The 5 S’s by acclaimed Paediatrician and “Happiest Baby on the Block” Author, Dr. Harvey Karp are the foundation of how we work to settle a newborn baby. Backed by science, read how The 5 S’s can help get you and your baby the sleep that you need!
The theory and idea behind the fourth trimester came from the acclaimed paediatrician, Dr Harvey Karp. He defines his idea of the fourth trimester as the first 3 months of a baby’s life after birth. Karp’s belief is that babies are born 3 months too soon and are still adjusting to the world outside. Therefore, to comfort and calm a crying newborn, they need you to simulate the environment they had in utero.
Karp's 5 S's are:
🌟 Swaddling - helps to calm that pesky startle reflex
🌟 Side/Stomach - think chest-to-chest cuddles
🌟 Shushing - white noise
🌟 Swinging - rocking or swaying
🌟 Sucking - feeding or dummy
Karp believes that this formula can help to calm any unsettled newborn baby!
