Certified sleep specialist and creator of the Hey, Sleepy Baby platform exposes how much of modern sleep advice is cultural fiction and returns the authority to where it belongs: with parents, their intuition, and the unique child in front of them.

In the U.S., infant sleep has become a high-stakes obsession--loaded with anxiety, judgment, and unrealistic expectations. From the moment families leave the hospital, parents are told that good babies sleep independently, that night waking is a problem to solve, and that exhaustion signals personal failure. Hey Sleepy Baby flips that narrative on its head and asks a provocative question: What if the problem isn't babies--but our culture?

Blending neuroscience, anthropology, history, original research, and intimate storytelling, Hey Sleepy Baby reframes infant and toddler sleep through a powerful biological and cultural lens. It reveals how modern sleep advice is shaped less by evidence and more by capitalism, productivity culture, medicalization, and the loss of communal caregiving--especially in Western societies. Many of the behaviors parents are warned against, the book shows, are not bad habits at all, but normal, protective features of human development we've been taught to distrust.
