About this Event
Would you like to learn more about understanding your baby’s sleep and how to provide a sleep-friendly environment?
Join us for an afternoon workshop to learn more about infant sleep and current practices.
Learn what normal sleep looks like as babies leave the 4th trimester, explore sleep coaching/training options, and understand how safe sleep guidelines change as babies grow.
Led by Meghan Bowser-Taylor from Family Doulas of Ottawa, who specializes in postpartum support and childbirth education. This is your chance to learn more about infant sleep practices from an experienced and well-recognized doula. And meet parents with children of a similar age!
