Episode 1: The A-Z of Safe Sleeping...Why It's So Important

Welcome to the “For Sleep’s Sake” Podcast Series. This series has been developed to assist you when it comes to Babies, Toddlers and children’s Safe Sleep & Settling.

When it comes to infant and toddler sleep – there is no one size that fits all. This is why it’s so important for parents and educators to have the most up to date and research based information to assist and guide them.

This is especially true when it comes to our children’s safety and today on the show we’ll be discussing The A-Z of Safe Sleeping…Why It’s So Important with Cindy Davenport and Jane Wiggill.

Cindy is passionate about the health and wellbeing of families and offers a sensible, response-based approach to help babies and children with sleep problems.

Jane Wiggill – Red Nose Chief Midwife and Manager Health and Advocacy program.
