Nicole, your website gives lots of great advice about helping babies and their parents fall asleep. Your article on teaching babies to sleep on their backs reminded me of Dr. Greene’s reminder to help other caregivers understand how important this is. Caregivers such as home daycare workers and grandparents have a wealth of experience with children, but they may have been raised with the notion that belly sleeping is best for baby. Don’t forget to communicate the things that are important to you, such as no cereal in the baby bottle or the rules for naptime.

Thank you for the mention, Ms. Greene! Communication with caregivers can be difficult, but so important. You’re right!
