MUM 2 - Infant Sleep Science with Dr Alice Callahan (Science of Mom)

This episode is all about the science of infant sleep.   Our expert guest is Dr Alice Callahan, author of 'The Science of Mom: A Research-Based Guide to Your Baby’s First Year'. As well as being an author, Alice is a blogger, college instructor, and mother of two young children.   In this episode we're talking about everything from the components of good infant sleep, to the impact of development leaps on sleep patterns. We also discuss the affects of sleep deprivation on maternal health and fathers as under-utilised sleep resources.    Plus Alice sets the record straight on whether sleep training is harmful to children.
