Did you know that 90% of new parents have sleep "issues"? It’s not them. It’s not their baby. It’s nature. To find the solution, you first need to understand the "why" behind babies' sleep so it does not become an "issue". In the Infant Sleep & Development Education for Parents course you'll learn about infant sleep based on their development so that you can prepare for life with your baby. Based on up-to-date scientific research, you will leave feeling confident in responding to and supporting your infant and their needs.
This class is not about sleep training or changing infant behaviours. It is about understanding your infant's behaviour, and responding and adapting to their needs while maintaining the health and wellness of the whole family.
