AGES:
For Expecting Parents or Parents of Newborns to 3 month olds
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Few new parenting decisions are as stressful and controversial as the choices parents make regarding their infant's sleep. With so many conflicting opinions on sleep from books, professionals, family and friends, it can be overwhelming for parents to choose the best sleep approach for their family. We all know that sleep is important for your infant's growth and development, but while sleep itself is a natural process, developing healthy sleep habits is a learned skill. This gentle workshop is designed for parents of newborns to help them start to put good sleep habits into practice so that as their baby grows and develops, he or she will have the tools for healthy sleep. This workshop will address the following sleep questions and issues:
- Sleep Safety and SIDS
- How much sleep should my newborn be getting?
- What can I expect for my baby's sleep now and in the future?
- How can I start to establish good sleep habits now?
- How can I maximize my baby's sleep?
