CO-SLEEPING | Why I co-sleep with my baby + Myths

Описание: Co-sleeping is somewhat of a controversial subject in western culture. We are the only mammals on Earth that do not co-sleep with our young. In this video, I share my personal experience with co-sleeping from an ANTI-co-sleeper's perspective. I researched this topic and found that there were in fact many benefits associated with co-sleeping including reducing stress, reducing chances of SIDS and helping the brain development of your baby. I hope you enjoy this video. Please note that this is my personal experience and research findings, I understand every situation is different and every baby is different.

Thanks for watching and thank you for your support!!
