What are the real questions parents should ask when visiting a childcare facility? How do you spot red flags?

What is your idea of sleep training? Do you know any other methods of helping your baby sleep, or does it even matter? Here we simply talk about personal preferences and knowledge around infant and baby sleep. As long as you have all the information available, how they work, and what the nuances are, then make the best decision that fits your family. If you don't have all the information, let us point you in the right direction and share our experiences.
