The First 14 Weeks
An evidence-based, holistic course designed for curious postpartum professionals who seek a deeper understanding of newborn sleep.

Finally, you can feel empowered to honor the biological rhythms of newborns and support sleep-deprived parents with confidence and compassion.

Wouldn't it be amazing if you could finally break free from the one-size-fits-all newborn sleep approach that simply doesn't support high-nurture care?

Working with newborns for the last 20+ years, I have always felt like something was missing. Although we've adapted to help babies sleep longer and meet parental needs, we should also normalize infant sleep patterns and support families rather than blame them for holding their babies too much. Letting go of harmful sleep myths gives us the opportunity to change lives for the better.

Just imagine, what if you could...

  • Provide care that respects each baby's natural development.
  • Focus on helping parents understand that their baby's frequent wakings are normal and not something the parents are doing wrong.
  • Reassure and guide families through the challenges of newborn sleep without imposing rigid schedules.

At Sleepwonders, we believe all babies are good babies!

And that's why I created...

Got Questions?

  • What if I'm parent who wants to take the course?
    Although the course was designed for newborn care and postpartum professionals, anyone can take it.
  • What sleep training method does this course teach?
    None! Sleep training is not taught in this course. Instead, attendees will learn about supporting healthy sleep for 0-14 week old babies using responsive care. We will discuss sleep hygiene and sleep conditioning, as well as other strategies for helping exhausted new parents.
  • What is sleep conditioning?
    This is a gentle method rooted in sleep hygiene that follows the baby's natural rhythms and development. For parents who want their babies to sleep longer or need less soothing at night, sleep conditioning offers an option that NEVER includes cry it out, withholding feedings, or ignoring baby's needs. Instead, we can support the gradual journey to "sleeping through the night" by following the Sleepwonders Foundations and acknowledging every baby’s differing needs and pace of learning to fall asleep independently.
  • What if I want to know about newborn sleep beyond the first 14 weeks?
    Sleepwonders for Professionals is our comprehensive signature sleep education program for those who work with children from birth to three years of age. This is a much longer course and covers significantly more information.
