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 the infant sleep — the cycles, safe sleeping arrangements, common issues by age, and what to do to encourage self-soothing. Tune in to learn about appropriate nap times, baby vs. adult sleep rhythms, and 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.
