I did the DBL course with Sonja about 6 weeks before our first born little one arrived and I wasn't sure if it would be more useful before or after he arrived. However once we jumped on the birth train and accompanying roller coaster that it has been since and now, it was the right move.

Especially on day zero at the hospital with a serious lack of sleep and high emotions all the guidance and knowledge that Sonja shared with us kicked into gear. I was holding the little ball of noise and was listening to him cry and armed with my DBL knowledge was able to impress the midwife with my assessment of what he needed.

I had no idea what I was doing but DBL and all the surrounding knowledge that Sonja shared with us helped give my wife and I a real head start in understanding our new little man.
Thank you Sonja and our little man is a happier baby for the help you gave us.
