Abstract:
Understanding infant sleep patterns and how they will change in the first year, was well as whether certain patterns could be cause for concern, is important in helping parents create supportive care practices in the first months and year of life. With this understanding, then, practitioners and parents can use the information about what is essential to create healthy, personally viable care practices. In this presentation, we will identify normative sleep and feeding practices, identify what is essential for infants, examine current research findings and often-heard parenting advice, and translate this information into best practice by focusing on how parents can use this information to provide developmentally supportive care. This will provide parents and practitioners the tools to adapt practices to infants’ needs across family settings. Parents with different family and infant needs can find ways to adapt the essentials of care to support their child.
