Baby and Toddler Sleep and Settling Education for Health Professionals

Supporting parents and carers with baby and toddler Sleep and Settling for Community and Health Professionals

Tweddle, a leader in the delivery of Early Parenting education and training, is launching a new sleep and settling education program for health professionals who are not part of the MCH sector.

Recently Tweddle provided sleep and settling training to over 2000 MCH practitioners across Victoria. Tweddle is now offering the opportunity for practitioners from other areas to attend a 1-day workshop for community and health professionals wanting to gain up to date, evidence based, sleep and settling education.

This workshop will provide an opportunity to build and enhance your knowledge on the following sleep topics:

• The science and biology of sleep and child brain development
• Factors that can impact on sleep and the physical and emotional wellbeing of the baby, toddler and their family
• Common sleep and settling concerns and working in partnership with families
• Developmentally age-appropriate sleep and settling strategies which recognize the importance of the child’s emotional and physical wellbeing
• Safe physical and emotional sleep environment for babies and toddlers

Experienced Tweddle practitioners facilitate this workshop which is delivered using a combination of presentations, videos, workshop activities and group discussion.
