Is it safe to co-sleep? Famous pediatricians debate pros and cons of cosleeping. American Academy of pediatrics disagrees with the number one researcher James McKenna.
The safest baby is a breastfeeding baby in the family bed says Dr. Jay Gordon. Not everyone agrees. Dr. Harvey Karp thinks the baby should sleep next to mom in a bassinet. Dr Tanya Altmann also thinks it could be dangerous for sleep deprived moms to sleep next to their babies. Dr. James McKenna loves co-sleepers but on the other hand says babies naturally want to get close to moms, as their survival depends on it and moms who sleep close to their babies tend to sleep longer, get more rest and become increasingly more sensitive to their baby waking up.
