Our topic is about sleep."Is your baby sleeping through the night yet?" is often the first question people ask a new parent.

Babies have needs at night just as they do during the day; from hunger, loneliness, and fear, to feeling too cold or too hot. They need the reassurance of a loving parent to feel secure during the night.
