Baby in Balans is the practice of Saskia ter Horst, a Nurse Specialist and baby consultant who supports families experiencing challenges with their baby’s or toddler’s crying, sleep, or reflux symptoms. Her approach combines practical guidance with medical knowledge and is tailored to each family, rather than relying on standard sleep-training advice. During coaching, Saskia takes parents’ values and parenting style into account, working closely with them and offering step-by-step support towards a more manageable family routine.

Services for parents include sleep coaching and baby guidance, with help for concerns such as frequent crying, disrupted sleep, and reflux-related difficulties. Baby in Balans also provides workshops and training for professionals, including those working in child health services and childcare. These sessions draw on current developments and research, with an emphasis on practical application.

The practice also offers information and education about Ubala®, or Universal BabyLanguage, a way of understanding babies’ communication. Parents can learn more about interpreting their baby’s signals, while professionals can receive training in this approach.
