Pg 83:
"Try to let your baby nap in a bassinet or crib wherever there are people around, if this is possiible. Don't worry about your baby not being able to fall asleep, because most babies can sleep in the middle of a rock concert when they are tired. The old idea of "Shhh!... the baby is sleeping," only conditions a baby to sleep lightly and to stir at each extraneous noice. Babies feel secure hearing the voices of their brothers or sisters and parents while sleeping."
Do you find that this was true with your baby?
For us, my daughter had the actual temperament of needing to sleep in her bed (or my arms at home) and did need the quiet. I noticed this from the beginning. What is (was) your experience?

My second is the exact opposite, if she cannot hear us she wakes up and she is not interested in sleeping in our arms and much prefers being in her hammock, so we have her hanging between the living room and kitchen during the day and make as much noise as we please..... I am glad they are this way around though as I cannot imagine how it would have worked with a two year old and a baby who requires complete silence!
