Sleep is very important for our babies as it directly impacts their mental and physical development. Having our babies develop good sleep habits is also important for YOU – the parents. Health and safety can become concerns for parents who do not get enough sleep. Parents who have not gotten enough sleep are often more stressed, more distracted, less tolerant, and can even experience depression (including intensified postpartum depression).
What many parents do not know is that good sleep habits need to be taught. Being able to fall asleep and stay asleep is a skill that needs to be learned.
Mind Body Family’s Sleep Coaching Workshop teaches parents how to examine their baby’s daily and nightly routines, and adjust and/or generate particular patterns to help create better and longer sleep. It is very important to look at the baby’s entire routine including eating, napping, and playtime, in order to properly create an effective sleep pattern at night. Our Sleep Coaching Workshop will discuss where your baby should sleep, and how to create an environment that is comfortable, safe, and soothing for your baby. We will also discuss how to minimize crying during bedtime as well as different soothing intervals and techniques.
Most parents know that a brand new baby is not going to sleep though the night right away, and they prepare themselves for sleepless nights. However when days turn into weeks, and weeks turn into months of interrupted sleep it can often lead to parents not being able to fully enjoy this time in their life, as well as their baby’s life. It is important that good sleep habits are introduced early and that parents are equip with the information and skills they need to teach their children life-long, healthy sleeping habits.
Our Sleep Coaching Workshop is 2 hours long (1.5 hour workshop and 30 minute Q&A) and is designed to be attended by parents only (no babies). The workshop is offered in both a group and private format. Parents should consult their pediatrician prior to beginning any type of sleep coaching or training plan to ensure that it is appropriate for their baby to sleep for long stretches at night.
