About sleeping through the night: some studies suggest that at 6 months only 16 percent of babies sleep through the night, and about half at one year.

Letting babies cry it out may increase their risk of SIDS:


quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
crying evokes physiological responses that increase the production of stress hormones. Crying infants experience an increase in heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure. These physiological reactions are likely to overheat the infant, and overheating is considered a potential factor in SIDS.
