Sleep Science

Sleep science is the foundation of everything we publish. The articles in this category translate peer-reviewed pediatric sleep research — from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Sleep Foundation, and university sleep labs — into practical guidance you can use tonight. You'll find evidence-based explanations of how baby sleep architecture develops, why the so-called "regressions" are actually progressions, how circadian rhythms emerge in the first months, and what wake windows really mean for your baby's day. Every guide is reviewed by a pediatric sleep specialist or certified sleep consultant. Where the science is unclear, we say so. Where parents face cultural pressure or conflicting advice, we present the evidence and let you decide.
