Many parents, especially nursing moms, want to co-sleep with their child. Here in Boulder, CO it is quite common, but this is not so accross the country. Now that Ferber has altered his views from his well known book, “Solve Your Child’s Sleep Problems” parents are feeling a sense of relief. Ferber is advocating parents take a more individualized approach to their child, which has always been an underlying philosophy here at Child-Works. 

Note that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a crib/bassinet in the same room or cosleeper for the baby so that the child is physically in his/her own sleep space. There has been a rising debate in the safety of cosleeping where infants have died as a result of sleeping in an adult bed.
