People often refer to a sleeping infant as "precious," but all new parents know that the most precious thing about it is that their baby is SLEEPING! The issue of infant sleep is one that so many parents lose sleep over -- literally and figuratively. Are they getting enough? When will they wake? When will they sleep for longer? How can I get more sleep? Are they breathing? Where should they sleep? What's safe? When will this get easier? It's confusing, stressful, and of course, exhausting. This month, we'll share new and existing resources and tips on infant sleep from the experts. And not to be overlooked -- we'll also address sleep during pregnancy.
