Meredith F. Small is an anthropologist at Cornell University and is also the author of "Our Babies, Ourselves; How Biology and Culture Shape the Way We Parent" just came out with a new article, Should Babies be put on a Schedule. Check it out.
The clearly study shows the benefit of a schedule is a well rested happy mother but yet she rebels to say that baby "neurologically unfinished" and need to be on top of Mom. If the babies are "neurologically unfinished" as she says they need direction! Oh, Ms. Small, direction of a schedule meets Mom and babies needs!
Ms. Small was so close with saying mom should sleep when the baby sleeps...she just should have said the baby should sleep when the mom sleeps. =)
