Case study 2
Sam is an eight-month-old baby who is due to start at the centre in two weeks’ time. During the orientation process, Sam’s mother has described Sam’s bedtime routine to you and asked that it be implemented at the service.
According to Sam’s mother, he will only go to sleep sucking on his bottle and cuddling his favourite teddy bear. He also requires his environment to be totally dark and silent, as the slightest noise will wake him. She has also requested that if he does wake, that he is rocked back to sleep by a staff member.

Complete the following:
⦁ What unsafe sleep practices is Sam’s mother using?
⦁ Identify three sleep practices in the scenario that would contravene a service’s safe sleep policy or be impossible to implement in an early childhood setting.
⦁ How would you explain to Sam’s mother that you are unable to follow her instructions for settling Sam to sleep? Outline what you would say and do.
⦁ In your answer identify what documents, references or resources you could you use to support your position (name at least three).
⦁ What alternative arrangements could you suggest?

I've been staring at this question for about 2 weeks and I'm not too sure what to write and where to find more information. Any help would be good! Feel like I will never get this course finished it's so confusing to me. Thanks
