The Five S's: A Guide to Calming Your Newborn
In this episode of the Modern Nurture Podcast, host Jess explores Dr. Harvey Karp's approach to soothing crying infants, known as the 'calming reflex', through his recommended five steps, or the 'Five S's': Swaddling, Side/Stomach Position, Shushing, Swinging, and Sucking. Jess shares her personal experiences with these methods, detailing each step's effectiveness and her insights on recreating the womb's environment to calm a newborn. Despite some skepticism and challenges in instantly calming her baby, Jess finds value in these techniques for soothing infants and encourages parents to integrate them into their care routines.
