Are you wondering how to help your little through a sleep regression, when regressions are common, or what might be contributing to one? Ask Nanit Lab anything! Dr. Natalie Barnett (Nanit's VP of Clinical Research) and Dr. Monica Ordway (Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and sleep expert) join the Nanit Community to answer all your questions about your little one's sleep.
This event is part of our monthly digital sleep series - during the last week of each month, our experts host an event about a particular sleep topic.
