Educational Classes
Being prepared for the worst, but expecting the best. Having a mind full of knowledge, knowing what to expect, and having a toolbox of ideas to help when things start to derail can be a lifesaver – especially it’s the middle of the night when things just aren’t going well. Families who have taken our classes come back time after time telling us how much better they felt knowing what to do when their baby wouldn’t latch or sleep wasn’t going well. These classes help families understand what is biologically normal for both the infant and parents (and sometimes other siblings!), and helps to debunk myths shared on social media and set realistic expectations. Please note, our sleep education classes are strictly against sleep training of any kind. It will not be discussed in educational sessions, except to briefly explain the possible detrimental affects of sleep training. If you are looking for information on sleep training, our classes are not for you. All of our approaches are holistically based on the biologically and anthropologically normal function of infant and parent relationships.

Infant Sleep - What to Expect
This class is tailored for prenatal and new postpartum families to help set realistic expectations for infant sleep for the first few years of life. Babies know how to sleep – it is a biologically normal function. But sometimes parents need help getting the environment right, watching for sleepy cues, and getting into a good rhythm with their new bundle of joy. This session covers why it’s important for babies to wake regularly, setting up safe sleep spaces, and how to help the whole family get better sleep during this transitional time! This class is only held in private sessions to ensure families are comfortable asking questions. Each class is approximately 45 minutes.

Our Goal
Being Informed
We believe every family should be informed and prepared for parenthood. A quick search for any baby topic will bring over a million or more results. For new (or even experienced) parents, it can be difficult to decipher what is the latest social media craze, trying to force independence long before developmentally appropriate, and what is the actual nurturing care that babies are biologically prepared for and need. We hope that every family we work with feels confident going into parenthood – knowing there will be daily challenges, but feeling like they’re prepared to make the best decision for their family. After all, every single parent is just trying to do the best they can to provide the best for their children.
