Elizabeth Pantley's book, "The No Cry Sleep Solution" suggests keeping logs of how baby is sleeping in order to be able to teach baby to sleep a little better, longer, healthier, happier, etc. Our pediatrician points out that it's silly to try to teach a newborn anything about sleep b/c their circadian rhythms aren't mature enough to manipulate yet. So, we aren't trying to dictate Daniel's schedule yet. However, we're keeping the log so that when he can be guided (a time to which we are very much looking forward); here it is.
