We also review 4 common methods to get those little buggers to cooperate with their exhausted parents, and discuss some of the stumbling blocks parents may trip over on their way to a decent night’s sleep. Night terrors, nightmares, and headbangers (oh my!). We share a model for taking a good sleep history, and pay tribute to the iconic Mary Tyler Moore.
