It’s no secret that infants need a lot of sleep. But how much is enough? And is the adage ‘never wake a sleeping baby’ really true? In this episode, Dr. Vieira dives into all things infant sleep. How much sleep babies need, how to keep them safe while they’re sleeping, and what you can do as a parent to help your infant fall—and stay—asleep. Learn about 5 sleep training methods (1 to avoid and 4 to try) and fascinating cultural differences in approaches to sleep. And toward the end of each episode, Dr. Vieira answers questions from parents just like you. Today’s questions cover topics like whether infants should cry themselves back to sleep, co-sleeping vs. room-sharing, and whether pacifiers are appropriate sleep aids.
