Welcome to Baby Care Connection
The birth of your baby is a joyful event. What a miracle, what a blessing! Months or years of anticipation have culminated in this new arrival to the family.
Amid all the excitement, there can be lots of questions and varying amounts of stress. Of course, as a parent, you want to do your best. Sometimes you just do not have the experience or expertise to take on this new role, or problems have arisen later. You may feel like you are "all thumbs" when it comes to baby care. You may realize that you have not learned enough during your short hospital stay, or you may not have known what questions to ask until after your baby came home.
This is where Baby Care Connection (BCC) can help. BCC strives to educate parents so they can become optimal caregivers for their infant. It helps parents navigate through the myriad of baby information that is available. BCC seeks to minimize stress and foster peace of mind as much as possible with tried-and-true wisdom based on years of experience. Its recommendations always seek to adhere to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) standards of practice, which is the Gold Standard in the industry.
"For most first-time moms and dads, the first shock is the overwhelmingly relentless nature of this new social contract. The baby takes. The parent gives. End of story. What startles many couples is the excruciating toll it can take on their quality of life...parents want just one square inch of silence, one small second to themselves, and they routinely get neither."
- John Medina, New York Times bestselling author of "Brain Rules for Baby"
"There is little support for the parents of screaming babies. That's unfortunate because while the urge to quiet a baby is instinctual, the ability to do it is a skill that must be learned."

"Up to 80% of patients forget what their doctor tells them as soon as they leave the office. And nearly 50% of what they do remember is recalled incorrectly."
