What this site is based on
BabySleepHealth summarizes widely-cited pediatric sleep guidance: the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Sleep Foundation, and published research on infant sleep development. We stay out of sleep-training debates because there's no single right method. Our goal is to tell you what's age-normal — so you can stop wondering if your baby is broken.
