SENSORY PROCESSING & SLEEP
Understanding Two of the Biggest Topics in Early Parenthood
Why does one baby seem calm and content while another becomes overwhelmed by everyday experiences? Why do some babies sleep easily while others struggle to settle?Sensory processing plays a significant role in how babies experience and respond to the world around them. At the same time, sleep is one of the most common concerns for new parents.
In this session, we explore how sensory systems develop during infancy and how sensory processing influences feeding, regulation, behaviour, movement and sleep. We also examine normal infant sleep patterns, common sleep challenges and realistic strategies for supporting healthy sleep.
Parents will gain a deeper understanding of both sensory development and sleep, helping them make sense of behaviours that often feel confusing or unpredictable.
In this session, you will learn:
• How sensory processing develops during infancy
• The role of sensory experiences in everyday development
• Why babies respond differently to sensory input
• Typical infant sleep development
• Common sleep challenges and what influences them
• Practical strategies to support regulation and sleep
Because understanding sensory needs often helps make sense of sleep challenges too.
