Book Review of Three in a Bed : The Benefits of Sharing Your Bed With Your Baby

Three in a Bed : The Benefits of Sharing Your Bed With Your Baby
reviewed on


I found this book surprisingly scholarly---packed with references and footnotes and studies. It is not a quick or light read. That said, it's still accessible, and most importantly, it's extremely refreshing and useful.

I was afraid to cosleep with my new baby based on the recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics. This book reassured me that although there's no way to definitely prevent a SIDS death, it is possible to cosleep safely and it may in fact help with the odds. And I'm glad for it, since my baby simply wouldn't sleep well unless he was next to me, anyway!
