Early chapters start
with explorations of everyday aspects of infant management such as the
three basic elements of daytime activities for newborns: feeding time,
waketime, and naptime. Practical discussions then focus on broad and
niche topics including feeding philosophies, baby sleep problems, baby
scheduling challenges, nap routines, sleep training multiples, baby
sleeping props, Colic and Reflux and many other dimensions which impact
breast feeding schedules, bottle feeding tips, and baby sleeping
training.
