Sleepwonders for Professionals

As a nanny, newborn care specialist, or postpartum doula, have you ever felt overwhelmed by the sleep challenges you encounter with the little ones you care for? Do you find yourself searching for answers, wondering how to address persistent sleep issues that leave both the babies and their parents exhausted? Imagine having the confidence and knowledge to not only understand these challenges but to effectively solve them. The Pro Course is designed to do just that—empower you with a comprehensive, holistic approach to sleep that will transform how you support families.

1. Sleep Science
Architecture of sleep and cycles by age, how sleep happens from a biochemical perspective, where and how hormones are made, circadian rhythm, what is normal at each stage.
2. Brain Development
Learning about brain development is vital for understanding infant sleep patterns, as sleep plays a crucial role in cognitive growth and neural connections. By recognizing how sleep impacts brain development, caregivers can better support an infant's overall mental and emotional well-being through proper sleep practices.
3. Gut Health
Understanding gut health is crucial for infant sleep, as digestive discomforts like colic or reflux can significantly disrupt a baby's rest. By learning about the gut-sleep connection, caregivers can better address underlying issues and promote more peaceful, restorative sleep for infants.
4. Nursing
Learn the basics of body feeding, how human milk contributes to sleep, and how nursing can be prioritized for families who choose to, without losing ground on sleep progress.
5. Anthropology & Responsive Care
The cornerstone of caring for newborns is also critically important when addressing sleep, whether supporting, extending, or shaping the infant’s sleep habits. We will also discuss the different ways families sleep around the world, safe sleep, and how to support families who choose to room-share or bed-share with their babies.
6. Foundations
The Sleepwonders Foundations are the five key areas to optimize and consider before making changes to a child’s sleep routine.
7. Methods
Tools you can use in your work and families can use in their daily lives to help reach their sleep goals. We will also discuss possible solutions to common concerns and perceived problems.
8. Case Studies
Reviewing case studies is essential for gaining practical insights into diverse infant sleep challenges and the strategies that have been effective in real-world situations. By studying these examples, caregivers and professionals can enhance their problem-solving skills and apply proven methods to improve sleep outcomes for infants.

Comprehensive Sleep Education with a Holistic Approach: Learn how to address sleep disturbances from a whole-child perspective, considering factors like development, environment, and family dynamics.

In-Depth Understanding: Gain insights into the stages of sleep development from infancy through toddlerhood, and learn how to support healthy sleep habits at every age.

Gentle and Responsive: Say goodbye to rigid schedules and "just let them cry it out" and hello to a compassionate, evidence-based approach that respects the natural rhythms of pediatric sleep and focuses on responsive, high-nurture care.

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?
Although we discuss the common sleep training methods so that students have an understanding and awareness of them, the course is focused on high-nurture, no-cry options. Attendees will learn about supporting healthy sleep for infants from birth to three years old using responsive care, sleep hygiene, sleep conditioning, fading, and other gentle techniques.
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 focus on newborn sleep?
The First 14 Weeks is our comprehensive signature sleep education program for those who work with newborns. The Pro Course contains some overlapping material with the First 14 Weeks, but many students have taken both and found them both to be valuable.
What if I need more support?
If you have a question about the material, feel free to post it in the Student Group on Facebook. Otherwise, reach out to us by email at hello@sleepwonders.com.
I am a Sleep Conditioning expert, is this for me?
Even experienced professionals who have taken other high-level courses have reported that the Pro Course was informative and beneficial in their work. Ultimately, you will have to decide if Sleepwonders is a good fit for your learning style, goals, and beliefs about human development.
