Never been prouder to be a Domer, than after discovering the work of Prof. McKenna on the relationship between a mother, her baby and sleep patterns. Babies awakening/arousing frequently during the night is not only normal, its biologically necessary for development and survival (i.e. avoiding SIDS). Our concept of babies sleeping though the night is a socially and culturally made-up notion. Cultures (i.e. Asia, Africa) where co-sleeping and frequent arousals are the norm do not even know what SIDS is. It is time to recalibrate our expectations of sleeping like a baby!
