Sleep: everybody’s gotta have it! But it’s a whole different ballgame with a newborn in the mix. This class uses sleep science to help you find your new groove with sleep–from the concrete logistics (like sleep schedules and environment) to the emotional approach (like mindful responses to sleep and crying). We’ll also address some of the cultural complexities around sleep, so you can navigate them with confidence.

This is a perfect class for families who are expecting and those with new babies under 4 months old who want everyone to get a better night’s sleep.

After this class, you’ll be able to:

• Apply sleep science to your specific sleep situation, so that you can:
• Develop realistic expectations about your baby’s sleep
• Follow an age appropriate schedule
• Use mindfulness to manage challenges in sleep and response to crying
• Create the optimal sleep environment
• Introduce positive associations with the sleep space
• Implement strategies for grown-up self-care to maximize your own rest  
• Seek help from trusted sources when needed

Hear from one of our real learners, Cassidy Oeltjen, on why she chose Nurtured Nest and will continue to learn from us throughout parenthood.

Why do you need Nurtured Nest classes?

Love is instinctual, parenting is not. Taking a parenting class is not a reflection on your ability—in fact it’s the opposite. Nurtured Nest opens a collective sum of experience and knowledge to navigate the overwhelm and demand of parenting, allowing you to make the best decisions for your family.

Just like taking golf lessons to strengthen your swing, taking a parenting class is an investment in your personal growth [and your children’s future]. And while we don’t have a crystal ball, we are fairly confident that a good parenting day can feel just like a hole in one.
