Sleep Tips
Back by popular demand!
Is your baby sleeping through the night? That is the number one question asked of new parents. All new parents worry about sleep, and wonder what is normal, and how they can get more sleep. In this workshop, we will discuss normal sleep needs for babies at different ages and stages, covering both daytime and nighttime sleep. We will go over healthy sleep habits and methods to improve sleep. As a doula and sleep consultant, my approach to sleep is a gentle, no-cry method that honours the needs of both babies and parents, while also respecting the breastfeeding relationship.
Date and Time: Thursday, December 12th @11:00am
By Who? Sheryl's journey to becoming a postpartum doula began in 2008 with the birth of her first son. She was sleep-deprived and overwhelmed and found it nearly impossible to keep up with the demands of a newborn baby. She learned that it is essential to not only have doula support during the birth, but also during the postpartum period. As a postpartum doula, Sheryl strives to "mother the mother" and assist the entire family in adjusting to life with a baby. She believes that every mom knows her own baby best, and she provides support in a non-judgmental manner. Her goal is for new moms to feel empowered and confident and to enjoy the postpartum period as much as possible. As an accredited La Leche League leader, Sheryl has the tools and information necessary to assist moms in meeting their own breastfeeding goals.
