Safe Infant Sleep offers a compassionate, research-based perspective on the age-old practice of cosleeping. Written by Dr. James J. McKenna, a world-renowned authority on mother-baby behavioural sleep, this book challenges modern anxieties surrounding infant care. By introducing the concept of ‘breastsleeping’, the author provides a scientific framework for understanding how nighttime proximity supports both breastfeeding and infant safety.
Moving beyond the conflicting advice often given to new parents, the text provides a balanced analysis of how culture and history influence our views on where babies should sleep. Dr. McKenna provides practical, evidence-based guidance for parents wishing to navigate bedsharing securely, while addressing the underlying biology that makes close contact beneficial for infants. Whether you are curious about the science of sleep or seeking support for your own parenting choices, this definitive resource empowers families to make informed, confident decisions. It is an essential guide for anyone looking to foster a nurturing, responsive relationship with their child from the very first night.
