Sleeping & Settling Infants (up to 12 months)

Dr Laura Conway of Infant Sleep Australia will cover sleep & settling for our youngest NIMBA members (those aged up to 12 months). A seperate session for Toddlers is scheduled for May 13th.

With thanks to the Inger Rice Foundation, this session will cover information about sleep in babies aged 0-12months, common sleep difficulties (eg frequent wakes, irregular schedules) and provide practical strategies to address these difficulties tailored to families with multiples. The presentation will run for approximately 45mins plus up to 30mins for Q&A.

Laura ensures the latest research evidence is embedded in the advice and support she provides to families.

Laura can help children aged 0-5 who:

- have problems settling to sleep,

- resist going to bed e.g., using stalling tactics, or
- wake up too early in the morning.
