  Sleep Success: Understanding, Supporting, and Managing Sleep Challenges in Pediatrics

  Sleep is a very common concern that families bring up regarding their children. Most families don't know how to best support their child during their sleep routine. In this webinar, we are going to cover:

  Sleep hygiene: What is it and what can you do?  What does an optimal and safe sleep environment look like?  Age-appropriate wake-windows. How much sleep should a child be getting in a 24 hour period?

  Overview of sleep props: What are they and how can I help remove them? Bottle, Pacifier, Co-sleeping, Sample bedtime routine, Do I have to let the child cry it out? What are alternative soothing methods? Quick-checks, chair in the room, shh-pat.

  How does the daytime routine impact the child's nighttime sleep? Follow sleep, eat, play schedule.
