Getting a good night's sleep for both your baby and you can be one of parenting's biggest challenges. If you're interesting in learning some great techniques to help your little one—and you—sleep, the Parents Place in San Rafael is offering a one-morning course "Infant Sleep Solutions" for parents of children from birth to 12 months on Friday, December 7, from 10:30 am–12:30 pm.
Participants will discuss baby sleep needs and the best ways to help young ones learn good sleep habits. You'll also cover the importance of a baby schedule, challenges to baby sleep habits (developmental milestones), new SIDS research and guidelines, pros and cons of various sleep methods (Ferber, CIO, low/no-cry methods), infant/child sleep products, and choices: family bed, crib, and room sharing.
Non-crawling babies are welcome.
This class is led by Sarah Middelton, MA, CD PCD (DONA), a mother, infant sleep consultant, and parent coach specializing in the transitions that occur in the first year after the birth of a child. She is also trained as a childbirth educator, and birth and post partum doula (DONA). Sarah has studied with Angelique Millette and uses a variety of sleep methods and tools to help parents of infants with sleep issues.
