Only since Victorian times has it been standard practice for mothers and fathers to send their babies to sleep alone, away from the parental bed - often in another room. This book reveals how babies who sleep with their parents benefit by getting virtually a full night's sleep. The author explains the advantages of this radical form of baby care, including its benefits for breastfeeding mothers, reviews the history of babies in the bed and, through interviews with parents, explores attitudes to the idea. The book also contains a fresh perspective on the tragedy of cot death, as well as practical advice on how to sustain your sex life, hints on safety in the bed, answers to all the common objections and dealing with the moment when the baby leaves its parents' bed.

I read this book with my wife when she was pregnant. The information and the writing style were very natural, exactly what we're looking for. Just make sure to read it open minded.
Our daughter is now 3 years old, has a cradle placed together with our bed and sometimes sleeps with us. I can tell you: it couldn't be any different!
If the couple is ready to do what they feel instead of what people say is right, this is the book for your family.
Great work Deborah! Thank you!

Interesting and insightful. Whatever your beliefs, it is worth reading for the opportunity to question a principle that many consider a fact.
