| "I am the mother of a 14 month old little boy, Connor. At 3 weeks of age, he developed "colic" and, after trying every colic remedy recommended to me by well-meaning friends and family, with little or no success, a wise friend lent me her copy of Baby Sense for the weekend. After reading the chapter on fussy babies, I immediately implemented the suggestions and was amazed at the results. Connor cried for about 5 minutes that evening (for the previous 2 weeks he had been crying every evening for 2 to 3 hours on end) before falling asleep quite peacefully at around 6pm. The "colic" disappeared entirely, never to return." |

So far I have invested in two Baby Sense products - the Baby Sense book and the Taglet. My book is completely dog-eared, filled with various highlighter colours and well-worn thanks to the constant hours of reading and re-reading that I have done. Although I have bought other baby books, none of them come close to the Baby Sense book. It truly is a wonderful, insightful and practical text that I have recommended again and again to expecting friends.
I am expecting my second child (girl) on the 13th May and have the Taglet packed in her hospital bag, ready and waiting to use from day one! Can't wait.
Thank you for printing and publishing a book that makes real 'sense' and has been invaluable to me through my son's first year. I will be reading it again very carefully through my daughters next 12 months. |

I love Baby Sense products. I have been using the white noise CD since my son was born. Everyone comments on how well he sleeps. We always have a good laugh when I tell them my secret. I received the Baby Sense Book when my son was one month old. The book really came at the right time. I have learnt so much valuable information especially about the night time routine.
Having dark curtains and self soothing techniques. Now when I go to Baby Showers I only buy one book Baby Sense.
Thanks So Much. |

Our son, James was born on Christmas day which makes him nearly four months old. He is our first child so, although, we have nothing to compare him to, we have found that he is a difficult baby. He is a terrible sleeper and is still waking several times during the night. He will also barely sleep for longer than half an hour at a time during the day.
As my husband and I live in Harare, Zimbabwe there are few people around who can ask for advice. After reading the Baby Sense book, which I found most helpful and keep referring back to, I decided to look at the website. The website has been helpful and encouraging as I have realized that I am not alone and that there are people out there who are experiencing similar situations. The advice that is given is practical and has led me to begin to have a better understanding of what James' needs are.
The other reason that I enjoy the advice given is that it is realistic and that it is given by someone who is knowledgeable and experienced in this field. They are not some far reaching ideas which are impossible to implement.
Thank you for all your help. |

I attended a Baby Sense workshop before my baby was born and learnt a huge amount about not over stimulating him. Baby Sense has been a big blessing to me and I have recommended the book and principles to other people I know who are having babies.
Thanks for all you help. |

I really love all the products especially your book. I struggled for 9 months to get my first child to sleep through I was a complete zombie at that stage now being pregnant with the second one reading your book I know exactly what I did wrong and how the environment and over stimulation can influence my child’s mood and his sleeping pattern.
I’ve given 7 of my friends a baby sense book. They swear by it. |

I just wanted to say that I love the baby sense book... It wasn’t around or at least I didn’t know about it when I had my first two but since reading it with my 3rd child... It has helped me so much my little boy is a friendly 7 month old and I still go back and read the book... It gives moms the confidence to know that they aren’t messing up and are good mothers. I have recommended the book to all my other friends and they all agree.
Thanks for a wonderful non judgmental book that encourages and assists! |

Hello to all the wonderful people of BABY SENSE,
I would like to thank you for all the excellent products you have on the market.
The two that really helped me enormously is the white noise cd and the Baby sense book… Being a first time mom can be really frustrating but with the advice on hand and calming strategies explained in the book, made parenting so much easier. My baby is 11 months old and I still use the cd to calm him when he is over-stimulated and it works like a charm...
The book is also fantastic as I cook up a storm with the lovely and easy recipes and also enjoy the stimulating activities with my baby.
THANK YOU BABYSENSE for all the great practical advice. |

I love the baby sense because they help mothers to know how to keep the baby calm, contented and free from colic and they also provide stimulation at appropriate times and for the enhanced of baby development and that they have positive early sensory experience.
And they also help us to know how sensory input affects the baby, what he means by the signals he gives; and how to respond to these signals by regulating his sensory environment and stimulations. Baby Sense really taught me about how babies are, and why I would want to follow the "calming" methods before sleep for me and my baby. I read the book when I was expecting with my first baby, but unfortunately he was born as a stillborn, didn’t have time to put all the knowledge that I read about her.
But now I am trying to conceive again. |

When I was pregnant with my first little one, I was introduced to Baby Sense by my ante natal nurse. I have your Baby Sense book, Toddler Sense book, sling, Slumber Sac and have just ordered another Cuddle wrap. Since then I haven’t looked back.
When my second baby was born, a month ago, I thought I was an old hand and didn’t need to read up, etc. But after a couple of sleepless nights a friend suggested that I read my Baby Sense book again. Since then I have been following your advice to the letter (once again) and have been getting a lot more shut-eye and don’t have a fractious baby anymore.
So, from a new mom, THANK YOU! |

I love Baby Sense because:
The advice is practical and implementable.
I believe and have witnessed how much managing my baby’s sensory world makes a difference to her happiness It has been my reference and guide book from before my baby was born. The Baby Sense principles work – following the Baby Sense principles have meant that (while others were battling) I have (mostly – with a few Everyone is always telling me what a thoroughly happy and confident little girl she is.
It is the book that I turn to for some guidance and a “solution” above all of the other baby books when things are not going according to plan. |

It is so easy. With all the people around me, it is hard to know who to listen to, mothers, mother in laws and even aunties.
With all the products, specially the books, I now can refer to a book rather than what someone told me.
Thank you for all your great products. |

I am currently pregnant with twins, which is very overwhelming yet exciting. My sister has 10 month old twin girls and she used the Baby Sense book and techniques making it look so easy! This makes me feel more confident that when my twins arrive I will be able to cope.
Everyone knows that a confident mother is a good mother and without the Baby Sense book and techniques I wouldn't know where to start. |

I have a "Baby Sense Baby"! Nathan is going to be one year old next month and how the time has flown!! I call my angel a "Baby Sense Baby" as he has followed your Baby Sense book to the T. I think he must have read it before he was born LOL. I have never "put" him into a routine, but he himself had followed the Baby Sense guide lines perfectly.
He has always been awake for him awake times and will start "telling" me he is ready to sleep 15 minutes before and will be sound asleep to the minute of his awake time "ending". To me your Baby Sense Book IS the baby manual everyone always asks for!! We are going to be ordering the Toddler Sense soon!!! We also have the sling, Womb to World CD and the taglet (this we got after he had become attached to his sleep teddy, so are keeping it for our second!)
Thank you for great products and I hope you will be doing a seminar in Port Elizabeth again this year!! |

I am 38 weeks preggy and have bought both Baby Sense and Sleep Sense books and they are going to be referred to frequently when I have my baby.
I have also got the cuddle wrap which is going to be awesome to get her calm. Many thanks.

Everything about Baby Sense products does make sense, including the two wonderful ladies that started this line of productsJ
I went to a talk with Megan when my daughter was about 8 weeks old (she’s now 2) and the talk made sense! Then I graduated on to purchasing the Baby Sense book – and this too made sense! All of the suggestions and tips and advice in the book were so spot on! Out of all the books I have read on babies, this was the only one which was completely in line with my daughter and her development.
And since then I have been hooked and am a Baby Sense nut!
Thank you for all of the advice, products, hints and learning curves that we go through as mothers– and how to endure the frustrations and look in to the future past the colic and sleepless nightsJ You made it so much easier for me. |

I love Baby Sense – the book, the products and the complete sense of ‘calm’ it imposes on me as a first-time mom. I first heard about Baby Sense from my sister-in-law when her first baby was born. She told me that I must not expect my baby to necessarily adhere to all the baby-sense principles, but that it is a fantastic guideline. Well, I started reading the book when I found out that I was pregnant and I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful I’ve found it to be. I ‘buy’ every single word that is written and have since bought the Cuddle Wrap and a Baby Sense book for my mom and my husband to read as well J I love the sling and am planning to get myself one before my baby is born.
I love that Baby Sense focuses on a baby’s world and teaches us, as parents, a little more about what that little one is experiencing so that we can successfully make it easier for them to adjust in the world, al the while creating an environment that is healthy for the parents as well. I love the way the book is written and can’t wait to read it again, I don’t want to forget anything!
I would love to win this hamper for my baby boy as I truly believe that it will make him comfortable and feel safe. |

As a mother of two boys (27 months and 9 months) it is plain for me to know, touch and see that Baby Sense products are meticulously designed with a baby's (and a new Mom's!) well-being in mind!
One of the first things I bought when I was pregnant with my first son was the very book, Baby Sense, and shortly thereafter Toddler Sense. How can I describe them in one word? A simple answer: Lifesavers! I also received a Taglet as a gift for my second baby as well. Most certainly some of the more sense-able products I have seen in the baby goods market.
I might just be inspired to go for baby number three...! :-) |

I was given the Baby sense book from my occupational therapist friend while pregnant with Zach (now 2 1/2). It was a Godsend. I implemented the never before understood and heard of strategies for a calm and contented baby and won. I have a well adjusted, well stimulated and good sleeper of a son. I now have a colicky 6 week old and have read the chapter on colic everyday (something I didn’t re-read with Zach), it is helping me get through the long days and nights.
Thank you Megan for your words of wisdom and I wish everyone will hear about your books as they are amazing, I couldn’t live without Baby sense. |

Being a primary school teacher I have become very aware of how important the early days of a baby's life can affect their development later in so many ways. Children are so used to instant gratification these days and find it hard to calm or entertain themselves. When I became pregnant, I decided to do whatever was necessary to raise a calm and contented baby. I received Baby Sense from an OT friend and it has proved invaluable.
My husband and I have read the book and use the guidelines daily with our beautiful little girl. The result is a baby who is content and very clam. Our lives have changed but we are able to manage well and enjoy time with our baby and with each other as she is peaceful at sleep times. We see her developing and growing daily and are very grateful for the advice we have received to give our little girl the best start in life.
Thank you! |

Besides just loving your books and website, when I had my baby, now 16 months old, I ran out and bought your book and two blankets. I swear on the Baby Sense Book, and persuade all new mom or mom to be to own one!
I have recently found out that I'm expecting again, and am over the moon! I would love to own one of your new CD's and especially that very cute taglet, which I never got around to buying for my baby.
Thank you for such an informative website and been a great "shoulder" to turn to! |

I have only one thing to say – “BABY SENSE BOOK ROCKS” having my first child was nerve wrecking and full of questions. I spent my first month of maternity leave lying on the bed reading it, and it calmed me tremendously. It is my second bible…………
Keep up the great work and thanks for the newsletters…. |

The reason I love baby Sense products is because both baby and mom’s needs are being met on ever level. I have been reading the Baby Sense book and it is so user friendly and simple. It really takes away the anxiety I have been feeling as I first time mom to be.
My husband is reading it as well, which is fantastic! It is so special when we sit down at the dinner table and he shares tips that he has read from the book. I have bought the cuddle wrap and will be bringing Sofia Van Schalkwyk home in it; she is due April 20th :-)
I will also be using the ‘White noise’ CD to ease her transition from my womb into her nursery. Thank you for your wonderful book and brilliant products, I will look out for the Lala CD. |

I love Baby Sense products because they are truly South African and from what I understand are researched very well and that’s why the results are good. The products are very practical and are beautifully packaged and stand out from the clutter (as a Mom there is so much on the market and so much on offer that it can be difficult to choose at times.)
The Baby Sense book is my “bible” and I always give it to friends who are expecting babies and they all love it as it simple to understand and give you a good understanding of the baby’s sensory world. |

I’m a full-time working, single first-time mommy. Coming home to my 4-month old son used to be a nightmare of non-stop crying and fussing until exhaustion finally took over and baby fell asleep.
Thankfully, after reading Baby Sense, that has all changed. It is such a pleasure to come home and spend quality time with my bouncing baby boy. We have both settled into a peaceful and joyful late afternoon/evening routine when both of us are relaxed and happy.
Matt’s happiest when we have music on and his mommy dances with him!! Baby Sense has changed our lives – THANK YOU! I now love being a mommy to my son and look forward to all the happy years ahead with my son and Baby Sense!!! |
