Presented by Candlewick Press       By Amy Joyce  Email I used to joke that I'd have a dozen kids if it weren't for the lack of sleep that almost did me in. There are of course many, many other reasons I don't have a dozen kids, but the lack of sleep was my nightmare. I have very distinct memories of wondering how people did this, begging my babies to just give me 15 minutes of sleep. And so when the news arrived that the Boppy lounger was being voluntarily recalled because of infant deaths associated with it, it was no surprise that baby sleep became the conversation du jour. As it does. Take a look at Jennie Yabroff's piece about the challenge that is baby sleep, and how it can take over every thought and action for new parents.  Have a good, restful weekend, everyone.   The Boppy recall is a reminder that there are no easy answers to baby sleep Perspective ●  By Jennie Yabroff ●  Read more »   What parents need to know about social media for kids By Heather Kelly ●  Read more »   On Parenting: Meghan Leahy took your parenting questions Perspective ●  By Meghan Leahy  ●  Read more »   ADVERTISEMENT Content From Candlewick Press Athlete Zion Clark shares his story in new photo book In a photo essay that will inspire readers, Zion Unmatched follows wheelchair racer and wrestler Zion Clark's hard-fought rise from foster care to the world stage as an elite athlete.   Facebook tries to minimize its own research ahead of hearings on children's safety By Cat Zakrzewski and Rachel Lerman ●  Read more »   The cold truth about hot lunch: School meal programs are running out of food and workers By Laura Reiley ●  Read more »   Flying with kids: 6 questions about mask rules, answered By Hannah Sampson ●  Read more »   Pregnancy and coronavirus vaccines: Your questions answered By Abigail Higgins ●  Read more »   ADVERTISEMENT   The expanded child tax credit is working.
