It was right all along, and for three days, the researchers who actually understand infant sleep are going to prove it, because no baby was ever meant to cry alone in the dark, and no mother was ever meant to stand on the other side of the door, every cell in her body begging her to go in.
listen close, Mama
She describes her routine. 5:30pm bath. 6pm play. 6:30pm feed. 7pm lights out. Drowsy but awake. Door closed. Monitor on. Self-soothing. Baby asleep. Adult time.
Your baby doesn't sleep through the night. You don't follow a schedule, but you have a rhythm. A flow. And no matter how it begins, the ending is always the same. You turn out the lights, you lay down with your baby, and you nurse him to sleep.
This is one of your favourite parts of the day.
And yet you still ask yourself, are you failing as a mother? Will your baby ever fall asleep without nursing? Are you creating bad habits? Will your family think you're strange when they realise that you bedshare?
The sleep talk at meet-ups makes you feel uneasy. Cry it out. Controlled crying. Something about a chair method. Your perspective has shifted so much that even the thought of your baby sleeping in another room makes you feel anxious.
Right now, mothers all over the world are doing exactly what you're doing. Lying down beside their babies. Nursing them to sleep. Watching the rise and fall of their chests and wondering the very same things you are. What feels like your private struggle at 2am is the oldest, most universal act there is. It's biology. It's sisters in the night, on every continent, soothing their babies the way mothers always have.
Nobody talks about this. For three days, we're going to.
See how mothers all over the world are quietly walking away from the rules and trusting themselves again. The ones who stopped measuring their babies against a flawed system, and found their way back to their own instincts.
No sleep training. No controlled crying. No drowsy-but-awake. No wake windows. No feed-play-sleep. Just the truth about what's really happening when your baby wakes, and why it was never a problem to fix.
This is about taking your power back. Not being told how to parent your baby, but remembering you knew all along.
Into the bin with all of it.
Every one of these is rooted in 19th-century superstition, not your baby. None of it was ever true, and none of it was ever about you.
So set it down. The guilt, the second-guessing, the feeling that you're getting it wrong. It was never yours to carry.
"Is he sleeping through the night?"
"She's too clingy."
"You're creating a rod for your own back."
"Put her down drowsy but awake."
"That's a bad sleep association."
"Is she a good baby?"
"Just let him cry."

The people who wrote the actual science of infant sleep are in the room. The researchers, doctors and authors who live and breathe the science of infant and toddler sleep.
Professor Helen Ball is a professor of anthropology at Durham University in the UK. For nearly 30 years, she has run the Durham Infancy and Sleep Centre, which she founded as the Parent Infant Sleep Lab. Her research focuses on infant sleep patterns, parent-infant sleep arrangements, and cross-cultural approaches to infant care.
James McKenna spent his career proving what your body already knew. He coined the word breastsleeping and ran the Mother-Baby Behavioural Sleep Laboratory. If you've ever read that cosleeping is biologically normal, the trail leads back to him.
Greer Kirshenbaum, PhD, is a Neuroscientist, Author, Doula, Infant and Family Sleep Specialist, and Mother. She is the founder of The Nurture Revolution, a global movement to transform mental health by nurturing babies’ brains in pregnancy, birth, and infancy.

Your baby's babyhood is happening right now, in tonight's wakings and tomorrow's contact naps and the slow, oxytocin-filled hours of nursing them back to sleep. To your baby, you are one, not two.
Don't spend another night wondering whether you're getting it wrong, when you could be resting in the knowledge that what you're experiencing isn't culturally normal, but is most certainly biologically normal. Three days that will leave you feeling seen, reassured, and sure that your instincts were never the problem.
Each year, thousands of parents from all over the world join us for this.
You're not getting it wrong: Discover why what you're experiencing isn't culturally normal, but is most certainly biologically normal
The science has your back: Get the research that confirms what your body already knows about cosleeping, breastsleeping, and frequent night feeds
What to say to the critics: Feel ready the next time someone hits you with the bad-habits, rod-for-your-own-back line
Trust yourself again: Stop doubting your own abilities and trust that nobody knows your baby better than you do
And this year it's all about sleep. Three days devoted entirely to the question that brought so many of us here in the first place: why won't my baby sleep, and what is actually normal?
Hi, I'm Tracy
I've thought outside the box from the start - no sleep training, no time-outs, no threats or rewards. These tools just aren't in my toolbox, and that's been intentional. But when you take those things out, what do you put in? That's exactly what this summit teaches.
Choosing the unconventional path meant I was hungry for guides. For lighthouse voices that could reassure me I wasn't crazy. So I started collecting them - and that's exactly how this summit was born.
Three days, sixteen experts, and a way through the exhaustion that doesn't ask you to ignore your baby or your instincts. It's completely free, and your spot takes ten seconds to save.
