“This advice is horrendous. Controlled crying and timing methods, “teaching babies to sleep” (false, it’s developmental, you can’t “teach” it), advising parents not to pick up their crying children. As a health professional working in child health space, we need to give parents more options than to just put a baby in a cot. Advising dead against co-sleeping is not advisable or up to date and is often not adhered to by parents. Co-sleeping information needs to be more exponentially disseminated as it can be done safely. The vast majority of SIDS is linked to parental consumption of alcohol/drugs, not putting baby supine, overheating baby, not BFing baby. Individually, these factors all contribute to much higher rates of SIDS compared to co-sleeping. Western countries have the highest rates of SIDS, FYI, and we’re the majority sleeping babies in cots away from parents. Breastfeeding overnight is a protective against SIDS. This pod presents misinformation in that breastfeeding causes dental issues, formula feeding may especially if leaving bottles in cots overnight or propped in mouth, yes, but it’s the type of solids/liquid (for example lollies/fruit juice) consumption, not breastmilk that causes tooth decay. Constituents in breastmilk have been found to be protective against tooth decay. Failed to mention also that WHO Recommends children are BF up to 2 years & beyond. Advising parents that they can stop giving milk/children stop needing milk overnight (or even WATER!) at 6 months is completely unrealistic and false. All of this advice is very regimented and rigid with no flexibility. Essentially it’s a sleep training how-to guide and offers parents no other options. As a health professional, I do not recommend listening, minor points in the advice is valuable but most of it not.”

“As a child health nurse who gives lots of sleep advice I’m happy to see that the information here is in line with current evidence so all health professionals are giving the same message and parents are less likely to become confused.”
