Sleeping With Your Baby: A Parent's Guide to Cosleeping
Sleeping with your baby has been the norm for almost all cultures for almost all ages. Yet, in our modern world, the practice is fraught with questions and guilt. With organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) stating that a child should never sleep in an adult bed, parents who cherish the closeness, security, and warmth of cosleeping are finding their hearts at odds with their brains.
In Sleeping With Your Baby: A Parent's Guide to Cosleeping, a world-wide recognized cosleeping authority examines why simplistic recommendations against any and all forms of cosleeping are not only scientifically inappropriate, but dangerous and morally wrong. Walking readers through various ways to safely cosleep, whether bedsharing or not, this book provides the latest information on the potential scientific benefits of cosleeping. Complete with sections minimizing hazards and risks, this book explains why and how to sleep with your baby.
James J. McKenna, Ph.D. is the Edmund P. Joyce C.S.C. Chair in Anthropology and directs the Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame. A leading authority on breastfeeding issues in relationships to SIDS and bedsharing safety, he is a sought-after speaker at medical, parenting, and policy conferences around the world.
"Cosleeping is one of the most delicious experiences in parenting, and Dr. McKenna's carefully research and thoughtful advice separates the myths from the marvelous reality." - Harvey Karp, M.D.
".should be required reading for everyone who cares for mothers and infants!" - Peter J. Fleming, M.D., Ph.D.
