Episode description

Have you ever wondered why your baby can sleep so soundly in the car seat, or a swing, or a Rock N' Play, but the second you move her to her nice, soft, stationary crib, those eyes pop open and all thoughts of sleep go out the window?

Although it can seem like motion is the "magic bullet" when your baby won't settle down and go to sleep, it's usually not nearly as restful or restorative as your little one might be leading you to believe.

Today on The Sleep Sense Show, we'll be examining motion sleep (and why I'm not a big fan of it) as well as revealing the answer to the big question, "Why can baby nod off while sitting up in a moving car, but howls in protest once she's placed in her luxurious bed?"
