In the United States, doctors typically receive twenty-seven minutes of infant sleep education in medical school, and in Canada less than 1 percent of doctors receive any training on infant sleep in medical school.27 In Australia, health professionals scored less than 50 percent correct on a test about infant sleep.28 So unless your doctor or medical professional has taken a specific training in biologically normal infant sleep and is supportive of nurturing infant sleep, do not rely on them to help.
