FAQ

• What does SIDS mean?

  SIDS is the acronym for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, the sudden and unexplained death of a baby younger than 1-year-old.

• How likely is SIDS? Why does this happen?

  Although SIDS is rare, it is one of the most common causes of death in babies between 1 and 12 months of age. Most babies who die of SIDS are between the ages of 2 and 4 months. Doctors don’t know what causes SIDS and it has no symptoms or warning signs. Babies who die of SIDS seem healthy before being put to bed.

  • Could you let me know detailed what covers the session?
  • What covers the full nursery/bedroom assessment?
  • Should I set up this session before fitting the nursery?

• Can this kind of class prevent SIDS?

  Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about a SIDS death, but definitely, we can educate and hopefully prevent unsafe sleep deaths with this kind of initiative.
  Our expert on Sleep Safe has more than 15 years of experience in this field and after had spoken with every agency around the world that had anything to do with SIDS or safe sleep, she realized that only one thing can make a difference: education.

• How long is the session?

  The session will last approximately 60 minutes including safe sleep education with plenty of time for questions and answers.

• If I will have a Night Nanny, should I take this class?

  The best way to know that your Night Nanny is doing the right thing is to know how to do it yourself. Sleep Safe is a key training that will let you feel more confident and calm when your little one sleeps.

• Should my night nanny take the class?

  If you are hiring a night nanny from us, we have already had all of our team take this training.

  We encourage you to check the experience and knowledge of your nanny before hiring. If your nanny has not taken some Safe Sleep awareness training before, it could be a great opportunity to update their skills. Knowing that your baby’s or infant’s primary caregivers are trained will increase your comfort level. If you need a nanny we also can offer this service. We have a team of nannies who are handpicked by Maria Robertson, our founder, and CEO. With more than 25 years of experience in the industry, Maria only brings onboard fully qualified, trained professionals who have recent and relevant newborn experience.

• What is the difference between Safe Sleep and Sleep Training?

  What is the difference between Safe Sleep and Sleep Training? They are totally different. Safe Sleep is designed to cover all aspects of safe sleep and SIDS prevention, while the services of Sleep Training or Sleep Coaching let you establish an appropriate bedtime routine for your baby, tailored to your family needs and lifestyle.

• Could your specialist help me with sleep training as well? 

  Safe Sleep is designed to cover all aspects of safe sleep and SIDS prevention, however, this does not cover sleep training. We do offer Infant Sleep Coaching Services but not in safe sleep as they are two separate services and usually undertaken months apart. 

  If you want, you can have a personalized sleep consultancy which will offer you a comprehensive sleep solution, educate you on your baby’s sleep needs, help you to establish an appropriate bedtime routine by allowing us to coach and advise you on the best method and routine for your baby, family and lifestyle. If you would like to book it, please do so here

• I am pregnant and I know you offer some classes online, could I take the private class online?

  Yes, we offer this class across Canada and internationally through Zoom. The class is available to you virtually through Zoom. If you have a laptop or iPad that you can move around your house that will be helpful as we will need to see each area that you plan to have the baby sleep in to ensure that each sleeping area is safe for your baby to sleep in and meeting safe sleep guidelines.
