"I took this course with Cortney to learn a little bit more about sleep for the infants we work with. I was hoping to get two or three little bits of information that would be helpful. I was pleasantly surprised to learn so much more. Understanding the biological component of sleep helps me in my day-to-day life as a Postpartum Doula.Ā The knowledge that Cortney carries and shares with those of us that are lucky enough to get some of her time or take this training, is so valuable. As a Postpartum Doula and a Newborn Care Specialist Agency Owner, this course has improved my business base. We are able to help families look at baby and child sleep from a more holistic angle. This is the class to takeĀ if you are looking to work in this field!"
"The First 14 Weeks is an excellent course for anyone who works with newborns and infants. It highlights the natural development of newborns and provides key information that builds a well-rounded foundation of knowledge, not just about normal newborn/infant sleep, but other factors such as brain development, gut health, and nutrition. The course also includes valuable tips and tricks for supporting families. Cortney's teaching style is straightfoward and conversational. The presentations are never robotic or overly scripted, and she doesn't just read slides that have been overfilled with text. Her content is engaging and scientific without being jargon-heavy. The module length is perfectly suited to take breaks in between as needed. I consider this course to be an excellent introduction to holistic newborn care and highly recommend it to new and veteran caregivers alike!"

None! Sleep training is not taught in this course. Instead, attendees will learn about supporting healthy sleep for 0-14 week old babies using responsive care. We will discuss sleep hygiene and sleep conditioning, as well as other strategies for helping exhausted new parents.
This is a gentle method rooted in sleep hygiene that follows the baby's natural rhythms and development. For parents who want their babies to sleep longer or need less soothing at night, sleep conditioning offers an option that NEVER includes cry it out, withholding feedings, or ignoring baby's needs. Instead, we can support the gradual journey to "sleeping through the night" by following the Sleepwonders Foundations and acknowledging every baby’s differing needs and pace of learning to fall asleep independently.
The First 14 Weeks includes six modules.
Anyone who cares for babies between birth and 14 weeks adjusted age will benefit from the information provided in The First 14 Weeks. The course is ideal for Newborn Care Specialists, Postpartum Doulas, Nannies, Health Practitioners, Parents, and Grandparents. Although the lessons are in-depth, they have been designed to be easy to understand for a variety of learning styles and levels.
