Sweet Sleep explains how and why many breastfeeding mothers can bedshare responsibly. The heart of the book is the “Safe Sleep Seven” – seven criteria that create that level of safety. These clear criteria will offer reassurance to many mothers and give all mothers a way to evaluate the risk in their own situation. Preparing her bed for bedsharing – whether she plans to bedshare or not – is a mother’s first childproofing job because sleep happens, starting on Night One.
