CPD: 10h 30m CPD

Why Attend:
Nurses and midwives who work with mothers and babies are often asked what to do when babies remain unsettled. This program gives you insight into this problem and arms you with a raft of resources to help mothers and babies cope. It includes:
• Why do babies cry?
• What is the ‘Period of PURPLE Crying®’ and do all babies go through this period?
• When is crying considered excessive?
• What does babies crying mean? Interpreting the sounds…
• How do babies learn to self regulate and soothe themselves?
• Infant crying and the passage to sleep. How do they learn?
• Controlled crying – good or bad?
• Which strategies can families try?
• What is the connection between crying and child abuse?

Need for Program:
Inconsolable infant crying and sleep disruption are a great source of concern for parents. This is a common problem affecting approximately a quarter of all parents. There is an abundance of advice and solutions to assist an unsettled baby – all of which are readily accessible. However, this advice is not always pertinent to a specific baby and parent. Nurses and midwives are important conduits to ensure correct information and interventions get to the parent when they need it most. There is a need for nurses and midwives to be correctly informed about the consensus and best practice course of action to implement in the care of an unsettled baby.

Purpose of Program:
The purpose of this seminar is to provide nurses and midwives with a deeper understanding of the unsettled baby and, using best available evidence, to assist parents and carers to appropriately respond to the infant.

Your learning outcomes:
• Know and apply a range of theories and interventions relating to the care of unsettled babies
• Assess babies presenting to you with unsettled behaviour to ensure there is no underlying physiological condition
• Provide advice you to mothers of unsettled babies that is informed by the best available evidence
• Help parents in your practice be more confident when dealing with an unsettled baby
