What to expect?

Parents lose 600 – 700 hours of sleep in the first year. Learn why and what to do.

The disrupted sleep habits persist for the parents long after the baby grows into a child that sleeps into the night ! There are all sorts of myths of babies sleeping through the night and sleep training, and other ideas that do not meet the biological needs of a newborn baby who needs to eat frequently and sleep lightly. Understand the needs of your baby and your sleep so that all needs can be met.

Topics we cover

In this workshop, you will
Learn about the biology, psychology, and ecology of sleep for infants AND adults.
Understand what is necessary to promote healthy sleep habits for your family.
Identify realistic and unrealistic sleep expectations.
Explore different approaches to infant sleep.
Consider lifestyle changes that will allow your family to get the necessary sleep.

This article provides an overview with key resources as well as walks you through one mother’s experience of figuring out what was causing her child’s disruptive sleep patterns.

Structure

These workshops require 1 month of group work and peer support provided within a study group.

WORKSHOP : 2-hr Zoom call

STUDY GROUP :

Weekly reflections.  In Week 1, you will share your plan that you will put into practice for the month.  I will offer suggestions to adapt it to your family needs.  Over the remaining 3 weeks, I will review your weekly check-in to tweak your plan and support you. This group work is hosted on the Mighty Network Platform.
Peer Support. Your peers also provide support and  encouragement either on MN or privately.  All members have the responsibility to respond to other’s sharing.  This is how we build circles of support.

WRAP UP CALL : 1 hour Zoom call to see each other face to face and reflect on the journey of nurturing relationships.
