There is no quick fix-but there is help through Tulane Building Early Relationships Support & Services (TBEARS), our program for parents adjusting to the addition of a baby in the family. TBEARS is a prevention intervention program created to support families with promoting infant sleeping, calming, bonding, and/or feeding. TBEARS has also offered services to parents who are stressed, overwhelmed, or are experiencing issues with postpartum mood or anxiety.
Our infant specialists have worked with caregivers to find more ways to soothe, care for, and enjoy their baby. We have also explored ways to reduce stress while supporting caregivers in their important roles as a parents.
The TBEARS program has been a good fit for caregivers interested in learning more about:
• Infant development
• Techniques for sleep, calming, or feeding baby

• Support for parents (stress, mental health)
Our areas of expertise include:
• Parent-infant relationship development and bonding
