- Sleep health during early childhood is important for infants, their parents and caregivers, and families. Although parental concerns about sleep are common and there is no shortage of information (or opinions) about sleep, many community-based care providers are uncertain how to support families with sleep concerns. Since sleep during infancy is related to individual and family well-being, functioning and development, it is important to assess sleep health within a broader family context. Similarly, strategies to support parents and families who are concerned about their infant’s sleep should be recommended based on a family’s priorities, capacities and unique contexts. Finally, this event includes recommendations for additional resources that may be appropriate for public health nurses and family home visitors to use to advance their knowledge and practice.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
• Understand the reciprocal influences between sleep, infant and parental mental health, and child and family development
• Consider key components and strategies for comprehensively assessing sleep health in families of infants
• Describe a family-centered approach for supporting families to address concerns about infant sleep
• Identify appropriate resources to enhance and advance their knowledge and practice about sleep health in families
