FAQ
Is this medical advice?
No. This is a parent-written hobby site that summarizes pediatric sleep research and common practices. For specific concerns about your baby's health or sleep — your pediatrician is the right person to call.
Do you make money from this site?
No. No ads, no affiliate links, no sponsored content. There are no "best baby monitors of 2026" link farms anywhere on this site. If you find a recommendation here, it's based on what the research says, not what someone paid for placement.
Who writes the articles?
Articles are drafted with AI assistance and cross-checked against pediatric guidelines (AAP, NHS, German pediatric associations) and published sleep research. We try not to invent statistics. If a claim seems off, please send an email.
My baby is 3 months and doesn't sleep through. What's wrong?
Nothing. Studies show 30-40% of 6-month-olds and 25% of 12-month-olds still wake at night. The "sleeping through" milestone is wildly variable. Your baby is fine. You're not failing. See What's actually normal.
When should I sleep train?
Most pediatric guidance: not before 4-6 months. Before then, frequent waking is biological. After 4-6 months, sleep training methods become an option — but only if you and your baby are in a stable place (no illness, no big life changes).
Is the Ferber method cruel?
Research doesn't support that. The published studies show no harm to attachment or development at 5-year follow-up. Internet opinion is loud, but the data is clear. That said, no method is the only right answer — gentler approaches exist if they work for your family.
I'm really struggling. Where can I get help?
See the resources on the homepage. Postpartum depression and severe sleep deprivation are medical issues that deserve care. You're not weak for asking.
