Samsara - Safe Sleep with Your Baby

Throughout human history and in all cultures, sleeping with your baby has always been the norm. In Safe Sleep With Your Baby, you'll discover how to identify and prevent the dangers of any sleep environment. McKenna shares the latest research on the beneficial properties of co-sleeping. He provides sources of information for both parents and professionals, and introduces the concept of breastsleeping – a way of sleeping together in one bed that is based on the evolutionary bond between breastfeeding and infant sleep.

Throughout the book, McKenna adopts the same approach: he informs you, reassures you, and confirms what is the most natural way for your baby to sleep – with you.

James McKenna is the leading expert in mother-infant sleep in the United States. He is the founder of the Mother-Infant Sleep Behavioral Research Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame. He has appeared on NPR, NBC, CNN, ABC radio and television programs, and The Today Show. He speaks worldwide on the relationship between bedsharing, breastfeeding, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
