- Happiest Baby on the Block
Harvey Karp, M.D.
Dr. Karp’s 90-minute presentation blends modern science and ancient wisdom to prove that babies aren’t quite ready for the world when they are born. He has developed four basic principles that are crucial to understanding babies, improving their sleep and soothing their senses: The Missing Fourth Trimester, The Calming Reflex, The 5 S’s and The Cuddle Cure. His methods quickly soothe any fussy baby and immediately add one to three hours to a baby’s sleep each day.
- Happiest Toddler on the Block
Harvey Karp, M.D.
Dr. Karp’s 90-minute session teaches parents and grandparents an extraordinary new way to speak to toddlers – ages nine months to five years old – that immediately boosts a young child’s patience and cooperation, while eliminating 50 to 90 percent of tantrums … in less than a week.
- Preparing Your Pet for Baby
Craig Tockman, D.V.M.
Helping your pet adjust to the arrival of a new baby is similar to preparing a sibling for the same event! Handling your pet’s curiosity, anxiety, and increased need for attention with gradual changes and adjustments before baby’s big entrance is the key to a successful transition. Learn how to address your pet’s sensitivity to sounds, smells, changes in the physical environment, routines and social order to keep harmony among all of the family members.

Yasangi Jayasinha, M.D.
From pre-conception to the arrival of your little one and beyond, Dr. Jayasinha offers tips, products and resources on raising a “green” baby, including nutrition, toys and clothing, and how to make your kitchen, baby’s nursery, bathroom, and garden eco-friendly, safe and healthy places to grow up.
