You know what the most trite advice is about babies and sleep? \u201cHoney, sleep when the baby sleeps!\u201d It makes me think of a meme I came across on Instagram that said, \u201cSure. And I\u2019ll do laundry when my baby does laundry and wash bottles when my baby washes bottles.\u201d When the baby sleeps, that may be our only window of time to get to the umpteen things we have to do.\xa0\nOne of the most polarizing and confusing topics for a new mom is \u201cTo sleep train or not.\u201d There are some parents who are die-hard believers in the Ferber method and others who prefer co-sleeping, and others who fall somewhere in between. First and foremost, there is no right or wrong method. You do what is right for your baby and your family and your schedule.\nWhat I aim to provide you with is knowledge. If you\u2019re a mom who is unsure what to do to help your baby go to sleep and sleep well, this is the episode for you.\nMy goal is to keep things as objective as possible, (you know I am a journalist, it\u2019s how my thinking is hardwired), so I want to present to you two different perspectives so that you come out of this more aware and self-assured on how to handle sleep when it comes to you and your baby or babies.\nOn today\u2019s episode, I am joined by Kelly Murray, a certified sleep consultant and Amber Price, MD, a pediatrician and breastfeeding consultant, who lives and teaches child-led parenting.
