Hey you, get some sleep! Developing healthy Sleep Habits.
Infant Sleep Workshop and Q&A
In our weekly New Parent Groups, we start out with introductions, baby's age, and sharing some of the past week's successes and challenges. Inevitably 90% of the parents in attendance share their latest sleep roadblocks. Sleep is tough for new parents! Heck, it's tough for all parents.
Expecting parents, you are invited to come learn how to instill healthy sleep habits while you can still absorb lots of information (pre-sleep depreviation). It is a super valuable gift for your family.
This week, on April 18, we're thrilled to have Dr. Angelique Millette, sleep consultant (and mama) join us via Zoom. During the workshop, we will discuss the importance of establishing good sleep routines, a regular schedule and consistencies for healthy happy sleep habits in the first year. We will discuss any current sleep struggles that you are having and/or how to improve common sleep issues; including naptime/bedtime/ overnight sleep troubles, self‐ soothing struggles, and others. We will also go over many sleep tips and Angelique is happy to answer questions...so be sure to bring them!

Baby (0–12 months) sleep needs
Importance of routines in sleep habits and patterns
Developmental milestones, when they occur, what to do
