]]> sleeping-with-your-baby-cover.jpgWhen Los Angeles County officials issued a warning about co-sleeping with an infant, National Public Radio host Larry Mantle opened up the topic for a 35-minute discussion on AirTalk on KPCC 89.3 (listen here). 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.

]]> The Attachment Parenting Book : A Commonsense Guide to Understanding and Nurturing Your BabyIf you’re a fan of attachment parenting and the Sears family of pediatricians, set your TiVo or VCR to record Dr. Phil on Friday, January 19, 2007 (check your local listings in the United States and Canada for exact times). Dr. Phil has invited Dr. William Sears, Dr. James Sears and Dr. Robert Sears to help answer questions from young mothers. Want to know “how do I stop the temper tantrums” or “what do I do if my child just won’t eat?” Want to see some interesting debate? It should make for very good television because Dr. Phil and the Sears family do not always agree on what’s right. Take for example the issue of sharing a family bed, also known as “co-sleeping.” Dr. Phil is against it while the Sears family is for it. To read more about the sleep debate, read this article from the Dr. Phil website.

If you watch the show, let me know what you think! I’ll be watching!
