Parents love their children. Parents try hard. They do their best every single day.
Hand in Hand provides support and helpful information for new parents on everything from Responding Well to Crying to Helping Baby Sleep to Handling the “Baby Blues” in these short, easy to use audio files.

For Parents
Some of these resources speak directly to a mom or dad and reference mom-dad couples and a narrow lens of birthing and baby feeding approaches. Hand in Hand supports all families and values all birthing and feeding approaches. We are working toward re-recording to include more parenting experiences as many of the ideas and thoughts shared in these resources are timeless and valuable regardless of gender. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for the added filtering and mental editing required.
