Welcome to Biologically Normal Infant Sleep! This is a safe place to discuss biologically normal infant (and toddler/preschooler) sleep for those wanting an alternative to sleep training. Biologically normal infant sleep refers to the natural sleep patterns and behaviors that align with human evolutionary biology and infant developmental needs. Unlike adult sleep, infant sleep is highly fragmented, with frequent night wakings for feeding, comfort, and safety. STing support is not welcome.
