Learn gentle steps you can take to help shape your child’s sleep from their earliest months.

Join us for coffee, the company of other new parents, and a relaxed conversation about your baby’s sleep. Gentle sleep coach Jessica Dodson of Starlight Sleep Coaching will discuss how sleep develops during infancy, why it can be so difficult and what you can do to make it easier for both you and your baby. Learn gentle steps you can take to help shape your child’s sleep from their earliest months and how to avoid common pitfalls that can lead to restless nights. Bring your babies and your questions – we’ll spend most of our time talking through participants’ specific situations. Expecting parents also warmly welcomed.

New Parent Coffees are open to any new parents or anyone expecting the arrival of a baby, whether biological, adoptive, through a gestational carrier, or any other pathway. LGBTQ and straight, Jewish and non-Jewish – all are warmly welcomed!

If you have any questions, please reach out to Miriam Szubin at mszubin@edcjcc.org.
