Ryan Church plays right field for the New York Mets. He's having a great year so far , with a .310 batting average, 8 home runs and 30 RBIs. One reason is that, despite having just become a father a couple of months ago, he's getting enough sleep. In an interview with the New York Times , Church...

I don't know what to make of this story. I do know that I'm unlikely to ever complain about Thing 2 waking up in the middle of the night. A little boy in St. Petersburg, Florida hasn't slept in 3 years . Not "oh, he woke up last night at midnight." No sleep. At all. For 3 years...

My son is destined to become obese, anxious, wracked with low self-esteem and beset with emotional problems.

Certain kinds of parents (ok, people like me) like to show off our successes and humorously and cleverly downplay our conundrums or heartaches. We chortle over school success, toddlers completing chores, and light but troubling sibling rivalry. A magazine like Babble is a breath of fresh air because...

Is your spouse a loud snorer? Don't be shy, you're not alone - an estimated 40% of men and 24% of women are habitual snorers. But instead of sending your honey to the guest room, maybe you should send him/her to a cardiologist. In a new study published in the journal Sleep, Hungarian researchers...

No, it’s not a celebrity abduction; it’s the softest baby doll on the market from a family company that’s been in the baby-making business for over 90 years. This fall, the Goldbergers are introducing two new babies to the market, one for fussy sleepers and one for sensitive asthma sufferers. The Sensitive...
