mother-babyBabysmiles is a place where parents come when they have questions about parenting.  We have the answers, but not just any answers as you can get that anywhere; from your family, friends, neighbours, google or facebook - but the right answers about what is best for your baby or child.  We take away the confusion and give parents the confidence to know which strategy is the right one and parents everyday express their relief at knowing what to do.

Parents have often read a lot and tried many and every strategy to solve their problem but end up confused and unsure of really what is the best way or the right way to go.  We give parents peace of mind as we understand and can show you what is the ‘right’ way.  We listen to what your problem is, what you have done and we, with our expert knowledge about babies, children, behaviour, psychology and knowledge gained by working with thousands of parents over 20 years can easily explain the right strategy for your situation.  Parents feel reassured that they are then on the right track.
