THE GIFT OF SLEEP

This entire class is devoted to Sleep Conditioning and Sleep Training. We talk about the difference between the two and we explain in complete detail on how to utilize each method. This is the most coveted class. You must know this to be a successful NCS. To be able to teach a newborn to sleep by 12 weeks for 12 hours straight is a real skill and not many people are able to do it gently and without stressing a baby.

 CLASS 1O

This class tugs at my heartstrings as it deals with the things that are not common but are very necessary for the Newborn Care Specialist to become familiar with. Gentle Ventures is the only class that I am aware of that teaches some of these subjects. Death of an Infant, Failure to Thrive, and A Baby’s Mind and Communication. As an NCS, you will need to be able to communicate with your clients in an effective manner. This class will open doors for you.
