Philosophy
Starting a routine from day one helps develop a balanced relationship between parent and baby. Karrie's goal is to help guide parents in a way so that they can learn to recognize their baby's needs and how best to respond to those needs. Establishing a consistent routine will develop a recognizable pattern to you in your baby's behavior. This will help create a balance between the needs of both parent and baby leading to a more symbiotic parent/child relationship and smoother transition into the world of parenthood.
