For three exhausting years, Lauren Lockwood tried to get her son Rex
to sleep through the night. As an infant, he couldn’t sleep without a
blanket over his carrier to drown out the world around him. At age 2, it
sometimes took hours for him — and her — to fall asleep, only for him
to be jolted awake from night terrors that left him shrieking in panic.Over the years, Lockwood, a nurse midwife who runs a group for new
moms from her home in Oakland, California, experimented with a gamut of
approaches to bedtime.
