I have read no books and only a few blog posts about baby sleep. I have done no research and know no statistics. A fellow mom, Corrie Tienhaara, shared her method of baby sleep schedules with me; she, in turn, learned it from another mother. Corrie is a stay at home mom with 4 kids, ages 6, 5, 2 and 5-day-old newborn. She recommended picking up a book called Baby Wise, but I’m unsure how similar her method is to what’s described in that book.

I’m not a structured person. I like to have a general pattern to my day, but I hate clocks and deadlines and appointments. I’d prefer to live in a culture where you met someone “in the late morning,” as opposed to “at 11:15.” So I’m not considering a baby schedule because I looooove schedules so much.
