Hi Linda
All the research I have read on sleep patterns is that the  mother
responds to the baby's sleep pattern not the other way around.

If you watch videos on mothers and babies sleeping together the
patterns you see are the baby's.

I will look at home to see if I have some references filed on this.

Hi Everyone,  

I am reposting this, as I didn't get any response...unless I missed it.
 And
for any of you who live in Alaska or Canada..I just took a cruise there
and
you live in beautiful country!  At least in the summer!  :-)

 

Ok, this is going to sound like a really strange and perhaps off the
wall
question, but...  

You know how studies show that when moms and babies are in the same
room,
they share the same brain waves and circadian rhythms?  What if the mom
has
this

 Idiopathic hypersomnia?  Is that going to have an adverse affect on
the
baby?  (surely enough to warrant that mom and baby should not bed
share)

But what about mom and baby sleeping next to each other in same room???
 Mom
said she very quickly goes into deep sleep and has troubles coming out
of
it.  She said she

Has a special alarm that awakens her during her light sleep cycle. 
Ever
heard of that????  What do y'all think????
