Birth is just the beginning...

There are two enormous mistakes we see pregnant women make:

1) They invest all their time and energy preparing for childbirth and forget to prepare for the years-long journey of caring for a baby.

2) They shoulder the entire burden of parenthood by themselves. They read all the books and carry the massive mental burden of making every decision until they eventually reach burnout. All the while, their partners remain clueless about babies.

Meanwhile, the constant barrage of contradictory advice doesn't relieve mothers' fears - it worsens them. That's because there's not a balanced voice helping summarize the research and deliver it in a manageable, relevant way.

Oh yeah, and Dad? He's still clueless about babies.

Parenthood should be a joyful team effort.

That's why we created a couples-focused newborn course that empowers BOTH parents to parent with confidence.

  • Ben Lagrone, Ed.S

    Ben is a Dad Coach and Education Specialist. He co-founded Balanced Families® with Jessica to provide dads and birth partners with the tools they need to support their loved ones and take care of their babies.
