Sleeping with our babies…the good, the sad and the snuggly

‘So exhausted parents all over the world, feeding their babies, cuddled up in bed, feel that natural urge to fall asleep together and some do. In lots of cultures it is common place and considered completely safe and in others it would be seen as neglectful to sleep separately from your child. And in others it is used to actively promote healthy development. So where did our fear of co sleeping come from?’

Hi my name is Jenna and I am a Night Time Parent (NTP). Hello Jenna.

‘Oh the shame, the shame of a child who doesn’t sleep all night, right??…Well I have had experience with two of these. My darling son didn’t sleep through until he was three and a half and my sweet daughter, now nearly four, has only just started doing the odd full night. Not ideal right? No, definitely, not ideal. Wrong? No not at all and there’s the important difference.’
