Episode notes

Craig: I think the big take-home messages here are helping people understand how sleep is going to be in terms of need from that newborn into infancy. We spoke about naps and polyphasic sleep. Then we spoke about bedtime routine and just how critical it is just to glue that in place. Craig: The newborn and infant period can be trying, but it really is such a wonderful and amazing time in your child's life as well.

Today Matt begins a new series all about sleep in infants, in kids, in teenagers, and in parents. He is joined by Dr. Craig Canapari one of the world leaders in pediatric sleep medicine. Dr. Canapari has also written a fantastic book on sleep for babies, kids and parents called, It's Never Too Late to Sleep Train. Enjoy the first episode in a new series, with some show highlights below!
