Safer Sleep Class 

Teaching expectant parents about safer sleep is a crucial part of parent education, and this class will give you the confidence and reassurance to understand the best practices for safer sleep for your newborn. I am supported in teaching this class through certification from the Lullaby Trust on having meaningful conversations around safer sleep. This class is also beneficial for expectant fathers; research carried out by the Lullaby Trust in 2021 showed 74% of expectant fathers worry about sudden infant death (SIDS). This class reassures expectant parents by letting them know all the elements for safer sleep.

• Where should your baby sleep, and what are the correct sleep positions?
• How to ensure the correct sleep environment for your baby
• What should your baby wear for sleep, and how should you ensure they are at the correct and safe temperature.

• Guidance on daytime napping, including on car journeys.
