In addition to Deanne Tilton Durfee, director of the Los Angeles County Interagency Council on Child Abuse and Neglect, guests included co-sleeping advocate Dr. William Sears, co-author of The Baby Sleep Book: The Complete Guide to a Good Night’s Rest for the Whole Family, Dr. Charles Sophy, Medical Director for the L.A. County Department of Childen and Family Services, and Dr. James J. McKenna, Director of the Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Lab at The University of Notre Dame and author of Sleeping with Your Baby: A Parent’s Guide to Cosleeping. One of the most important things the debate brought to light is how much safer it is for a breastfeeding infant to be sharing a bed compared to a formula-fed baby.
