Born with a rare genetic condition that predisposed him to cancerous growths, Rath himself is a living testimony to the value of these recommendations. “I act as if my life depends on each decision,” he writes. “Because it does.” As he notes, nearly 9 out of 10 deaths are attributable to four largely preventable diseases—cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and lung disease. Changing simple daily habits could enable many of us to live well into our 90’s. You’re going to put your baby to sleep SOMEHOW. Taking “nurse to sleep” off the table doesn’t guarantee that you’ll successfully get baby to sleep some other way.

Walk while typing (yes, you read that right; rig a special work station if you have to, you lazy ass).

Eat Play Sleep: How Does It Work?

Sometimes babies have needs that don’t line up elegantly with the plan! Growth spurts, illness, the fact that it’s a Tuesday – these things can all throw you OFF the plan. If you’re confident working within a plan and maintaining a level of flexibility that’s not a problem. But I see many parents who are rigidly adhering to the plan and/or feeling like a failure because they can’t. There’s no definitive answer on which routine is best; it all comes down to personal preference.
