Getting to Know Your Baby Better
Why do some babies sleep at the same time everyday while others have a random nap schedule? Why do some wiggle and squirm during a diaper change and others lay quietly as they smile and coo?

Sanford Children’s offers a program to help find the answers to these questions.This service helps parents gain insight to why babies reacts to people, places and situations in certain ways. This service involves a short questionnaire with an option to receive further information from one of our Family Life Specialists.
