Sofia Axelrod

Sofia Axelrod is a scientist and mother of two who specializes in studying sleep, particularly in fruit flies.

She holds a PhD in Biology from Rockefeller University, where her research focused on circadian rhythms and sleep regulation.

Axelrod's work in sleep science led her to develop her own method for helping babies sleep, which she outlines in her book.

Her approach combines scientific knowledge with practical parenting experience.

Axelrod's background in both academia and motherhood gives her a unique perspective on infant sleep, though some readers question the applicability of her fruit fly research to human babies.

Despite controversy around her methods, Axelrod's scientific credentials lend authority to her writing on sleep.
