Newborn Sleep

1hr – This class is for babies under 14 weeks old.
This class is currently being offered virtually via Zoom.
In this class you will learn how to calm a fussy baby, understand your newborn’s sleepy cues, how to set your little one’s days and nights up for sleep success, and learn about the developmental milestones that are linked with sleep in these early weeks. The earlier you start to set the foundations for a Healthy Little Sleeper, the more likely you will be able to bypass the feared sleep training altogether with just a few more adjustments. Knowledge is power. Come learn about your little one’s sleep and set your family up for success. (Note: This is not a sleep training class but a “how to” shape healthy sleep habits early on.)

Toddler Sleep

1hr – This class is for babies/younger toddlers 5-12 months old.
This class is currently being offered virtually via Zoom.
In this class you will learn about the 5 components of good sleep hygiene, how to help your baby fall asleep more independently, when and how to tackle nap transitions, and how to handle nighttime crying.  Join us to become a Healthy Little Sleeper (… and yes, you can even keep a night feeding if recommended by your pediatrician).

Let us know what interests you and keep checking back in.  We appreciate your feedback and we will be adding more classes in the near future!
