There is lots of conventional wisdom out there that says parents should teach their babies to sleep through noise, from day one. We hear this sometimes from our consultation clients - friends and family members blame them (the parents) for their babies' short naps and nighttime waking, saying that they (the parents) simply need to teach the baby to sleep through noise. Because then, the baby wouldn't wake up so much! Oh, if only it were that simple. ;) How Noise Affects Baby
