"No matter how much you prepare yourself for your toddler's reaction to your newborn, the words "Let's put that baby in the garbage" send jolts of shock and guilt down a mother's spine. I was holding my six-day-old son, Wyatt, when his nearly three-year-old brother, Julian, emerged from his room, climbed up beside me on the couch, and sweetly but sincerely suggested just that. I nearly burst into tears. Admittedly, tears were a common occurrence at the time, but I waited till I was safely behind the bathroom door to express my true emotions."

The world's top scientists speak out! This reprint presents an exclusive compilation of research to back your instincts: cosleeping is proven to be safe, natural, and beneficial. Safety guidelines and solid information help you cosleep with confidence. In 2002, the Consumer Product Safety Commission came out with a recommendation that only cribs and playpens were safe places for infants to sleep. The report, sponsored in part by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association, manufacturers of cribs and playpens, ran counter to the research and expert opinion that Mothering has been involved with for years. Mothering rallied the best researchers and studies to counter this erroneous and commercially corrupted misinformation. We dedicated our entire September/October 2002 issue to the subject and it completely sold out.  This reprint is a condensed version of that fall 2002 classic, which continues to be in high demand.  Edited by Peggy O’Mara, publisher of Mothering, and James McKenna, PhD, professor at Notre Dame. Contributors include McKenna, Peter Fleming, and many other esteemed experts. 40 pages. Digital Format Only.
