Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. William Sears discuss the following:

1. You use the term “nighttime parenting,” and I like that term.  You have nighttime-parented eight children and been advising parents in your pediatric practice for over fifty years.  Tell us about your experience with nighttime parenting.
2. So, is sleeping through the night a myth?
3. Tell us more about the sleep-brain connection.
4. So, good infant sleep is a good long-term investment?
5. Tell us about this research about where babies should sleep.
6. Is this how the term “co-sleeping” got so popular?
7. I like the term you mention a lot – “safe infant sleep.”  Are there any bedding products that help support safe sleep for baby and provides a nighttime parenting environment that promotes good sleep for mother and development for baby?
