Certified sleep specialist and creator of the “Hey, Sleepy Baby” platform exposes how much of modern sleep advice is cultural fiction and returns the authority to where it belongs: with parents, their intuition, and the unique child in front of them.

In the U.S., infant sleep has become a high-stakes obsession—loaded with anxiety, judgment, and unrealistic expectations. From the moment families leave the hospital, parents are told that “good” babies sleep independently, that night waking is a problem to solve, and that exhaustion signals personal failure. Hey Sleepy Baby flips that narrative on its head and asks a provocative question: What if the problem isn’t babies—but our culture?

Blending neuroscience, anthropology, history, original research, and intimate storytelling, Hey Sleepy Baby reframes infant and toddler sleep through a powerful biological and cultural lens. It reveals how modern sleep advice is shaped less by evidence and more by capitalism, productivity culture, medicalization, and the loss of communal caregiving—especially in Western societies. Many of the behaviors parents are warned against, the book shows, are not “bad habits” at all, but normal, protective features of human development we’ve been taught to distrust.


Rather than offering another rigid sleep “solution,” Hey Sleepy Baby provides something parents are desperately craving: relief, context, and permission. It tackles polarizing and taboo topics—sleep training, night wakings, feeding to sleep, cosleeping, temperament, and sensory needs—without shaming, dogma, or one-size-fits-all prescriptions. Readers come away understanding how babies are wired, why sleep unfolds the way it does, and how families across cultures have supported both infants and caregivers through the most demanding seasons of early parenthood.

At once deeply researched and profoundly validating, Hey Sleepy Baby is more than a parenting book—it’s a cultural reset. Its call to action is both personal and collective: trust babies’ biology, honor parental intuition, reject productivity-driven definitions of “success,” and advocate for systems that actually support families when they need it most. For exhausted parents, it offers reassurance. For the broader culture, it offers a long-overdue reframe.
