I have 3 children under 5, so sleep is a big issue. All of these films with Andrea have been really useful. We now have routines in place for all 3 and are getting more sleep than we ever thought possible. Thanks VideoJug

Every time I see one of these videos, my heart breaks for the babies whose needs are completely disregarded. There is no valid research supporting the fear-based, industry-driven lies that such "experts" rely upon. The safest place for a baby to sleep is with her mother. All of these "sleep experts" have absolutely no expertise in normal human physiology. Instead, they pander to the demands of weary parents, but completely ignore the very real needs of babies. Babies should never have to sleep in isolation and all of the research actually proves that both mothers and babies sleep best (and safest) when they sleep together. If parents want to isolate their babies, they at least deserve to do it based on accurate information--knowing the emotional risks it poses to their babies, and the risks to themselves in the increased potential for premature cessation of breastfeeding. Please look at the work of a real expert in this field--James McKenna PhD.: http://www.nd.edu/~jmckenn1/lab/

I'm sorry but I disagree with what you say about "isolating" a baby. My daughter spent 7 weeks in hospital & with only 4-5 staff members to upto 20 babies on the unit those who were stornger & not in need of so much attention were left to sleep on their own so to speak. I have 3 children my eldest is nearly 3 months old while my youngest is 3 months old & I co-slept with my eldest when he was a baby & had a real stuggle trying to get him to sleep in his own room when he got older. I didn't do it with my eldest daughter (mostly because I couldn't due to her size & prematurity) & had no problems getting her to sleep in her own bed. With my youngest daughter she is in a cot but in my room yet I can put her in her cot at 9pm after her last bottle & she'll fall asleep within 10 minutes with no crying & will sleep for 10-11 hours. All three of my children are happy children & my eldest daughter is very confident & a good sleeper. She knows if I leave her I'll be back & the same goes for at night. When I was in hospital having my 3rd child she was ok knowing I would be back & she hadn't been forgotten or isolated. As for risks to mothers with respect to premature cessation of breastfeeding what about those who can't breastfeed...my epilepsy medication meant I couldn't satisfy my children past 7 weeks & had to put them to bottle...nothing at all to do with their sleeping arrangements!
