At the end of our live days, we’ll hear from Closing Keynote Speaker Lyndsey Hookway, BSc, RNC, HV, IBCLC.

This presentation will also be available to view live and as a recording.

Parents typically have many questions about infant sleep, and this presentation will equip you with the latest evidence-based information. We’ll hear about key sleep biology principles, and we’ll have the opportunity to hear how sleep concepts can be applied to real-life examples of sleep problems for both adults and infants alike. This presentation will give you both tools and information so you can support families who need a reliable resource.
