The vast majority of infant sleep books out there are absolute GARBAGE. They’re all selling products and sleep consulting services, not science.

These are all written by actual experts. The first two are colleagues of mine, and top researchers. The third our researchers that are highly respected.

A book cover featuring a simple graphic illustration of a woman with short black hair and light tan skin, sleeping on her side with a lighter skinned baby cuddles at her breast. She has her eyes closed as if sleeping. They sleep on a teal and pink-colored bed in front of a peach colored background.

Oh je 😵‍💫

Die Murmel zappelt zwar recht viel, aber ist dabei leise. Zwischen 22 und 7 Uhr trinkt sie so vier bis fünf Mal und will zT angedockt bleiben, aber dank Breastsleeping geht das halbwegs schlafkompatibel. Dass ich so eingeschränkt bin mich zu bewegen stört am meisten.
