Have you been nursing your baby to sleep and now you are worried you are creating a bad habit? Do your instincts regarding your baby’s sleep often conflict with the advice you get from friends, family members, and even doctors? Do you have anxiety around creating a poor sleep association around nursing to sleep?On this episode IBCLC and host Lo Nigrosh discusses:

• How humans are classified as it relates to milk feeding in the animal world, and what that tells us about suspected sleep patterns
• The composition of human milk and how that relates to infant sleep patterns
• How modern day infant sleep recommendations came to be
• How the evolution of infant sleep conflicts with modern day parenting needs
