Why Your Baby Won’t Sleep (And What Actually Helps)
Understanding why babies fight sleep and what actually helps — from hunger and overtiredness to developmental leaps and environmental factors.

As a leading voice in the wellness and dietetics community, Lila Sjöberg brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to health and nutrition. A mother of three, her intensive journey through parenting became the catalyst for her work, driving her to create and maintain this blog as a trusted resource for future parents.
While her roots are in traditional dietetics, her most profound education has come from raising her children, informed by Sweden's rigorous national parental education programs (föräldrautbildning) and the child-centric, evidence-based philosophy of the Swedish healthcare system. This real-world experience, combined with her academic foundation, allows her to blend cutting-edge research with actionable, family-tested advice.
Lila’s philosophy is centered on the Swedish concept of "lagom"—finding the balanced, sustainable middle way. She believes true wellbeing is achieved not through extremes, but through mindful moderation and harmony, especially within the family unit. To ensure the highest accuracy and credibility, Lila grounds all her content from personal experiences and in trusted sources, including:
- The Swedish National Food Agency (Livsmedelsverket)
- The Swedish Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen)
- Reputable international health portals like Healthline, the Mayo Clinic, and National Center for Biotechnology Information.
By combining her lived expertise as a mother, her Swedish health principles, and the latest research, Lila creates content that is not only informative but genuinely resonant, empowering readers to build healthier, more balanced lives for themselves and their families.
