Are you wanting to maximise your sleep so you can enjoy your days with your baby, but not wanting to sleep train? There is another way!
If you would like to learn how to help your baby’s sleep while supporting attachment, responsive parenting and your own mental health then this workshop is for you!
With a myriad of sleep training options out there (both gentle and not-so-gentle!) is can be overwhelming trying to work out what to do.
New parents are often bombarded with ads on social media in support of old school sleep training strategies, or fear based marketing that pulls them away from their parenting instincts.
There is no one way to approach infant sleep, but my aim is to give you evidence based strategies that you can experiment with to support your baby’s sleep (and your sleep too!), as well as tips and advice for making the days with your little one as easy and enjoyable as possible.
My aim with this workshop is for parents to attend BEFORE their baby is born so they dont get pulled into the sleep training culture that is so dominant. However, if your baby has already arrived you are absolutely welcome to attend (babes in arms welcome!) This information is most relevant for babies from birth-6 months of age, however the principles also apply into toddlerhood.
This 3 hour workshop encompasses my experience as a lactation consultant, life coach and NDC practitioner and will cover:
-
Understanding Newborn Development + Attachment.
-
How we can support Attachment with our babies, and responsive parenting for brain building.
-
What is biologically normal infant sleep?
-
What does the research tell us about wake windows, strict sleep routines and the impact of sleep training on breastfeeding?
-
What can we do to improve our baby's sleep?
-
Sleep pressure and why this is so important for good sleep.
-
Setting your baby's circadian rhythm - as they have been in darkness for 9 months!

What to expect around breastfeeding/bottle feeding over the first six months.

Supporting your emotional wellbeing during matrescence.
-
Self care strategies that you can do with your baby.
