Feeding issues are greatly improved
Baby sleeps more soundly and feels more rested
You as a parent will maximise your sleep and feel more confident and less stressed
Better digestion with a huge improvement in colic, reflux, gas and cramps in your baby
Your baby cries much less as you confidently meet their real-time needs according to the sound of their cries, their body language, expressions and demeanor
The bond of trust and respect is deepened and cemented between you and your child.
NO cry-it-out, NO graduated extinction or Ferber method needed! Babies' cries are welcomed as communication, but the NEED which is causing the cry can be met quickly when you learn how to identify the need and respond appropriately
If we haven't formally met, hello!
I'm Camille Potgieter.

I've been helping parents learn how to meet their babies' expressed needs, and have a more peaceful, joyful and healthy newborn stage, since 2013.
I had a wonderful newborn stage with my daughter, despite a lot of trauma and many challenges, and it's my calling to help mums and dads all over the world to have the same blessed experience.
I focus heavily on meeting needs, rather than distracting babies with tools and techniques. Babies in the womb are never afraid, lonely, cold, hungry or tired, they don't have tummy discomfort or gas, they are weightless and supported by water, and they are surrounded by the comforting sound of mama's heartbeat at all times.
Once they are born, their needs remain the same, but their circumstances have drastically changed. It is now our role to understand what they are asking for and help them to get back to equilibrium.
When one or more key pieces of the newborn puzzle are missing, none of the other pieces seem to fit together properly. In my practice, I provide information about each piece and also its relationship to all the other pieces. Then we work as a team to devise a simple, practical strategy for meeting the needs of both baby and parents.
I am so excited to work with you and help you create a joyful, peaceful newborn stage for your family.
Much love,
Camille
