Note: This course focuses on the first 4 months. It will not teach you how to “sleep train” or promise “sleep through the night.” The AAP does not recommend sleep training before 3 months and does not recommend it specifically until after 6 months. The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine does not recommend sleep training (reducing feeds, babies crying alone) for young babies. For work with older babies and toddlers, consider my Sleep Savvy Mentorship & Certification.

I’m watching the art and science of lactation and sleep and I can’t believe your knowledge AND lovely way of teaching this information. You are calm and peaceful and have the best phrases. I’m not sure I will ever reach your skill in this subject but it’s worth trying because I want to help families. Thank you.

Martha

Postpartum Doula and Sleep Consultant

This broke so many sleep myths I was carrying around and answered questions my clients often have which I have never quite been able answer. I have a much better understanding about development of sleep and how not to introduce things that are going to create sleep challenges and a few new ways to help ease the 3 month transition!
Marilyn

Mental Health Counselor

Those videos you shared where you were supporting babies in learning how to sleep on a flat surface were absolutely invaluable to me. I feel like I can better hold this balance of supporting bedsharing and babywearing AND crib sleep.

Stephanie

NCS & Postpartum Doula

The links and handouts were awesome. I feel like I finally have the compiled evidence to stand behind a lot of the sleep recommendations I make as a lactation counselor. But you also helped me remember to be really careful that I give evidence versus opinion on people’s sleep choices.
