excerpts:
"the child sleeps/slept in the parents' bed because, Mom says, it is/was
easier for her to nurse..... Proponents of co-sleeping claim it assists with
bonding and attachment and other such nonsense,....co-sleeping often leads to
intractable sleep problems just as pacifiers often lead to tantrums, excessive
crying and petulance.......co-sleeping and discipline problems in other areas
go hand in hand, ....move the infant out of the marital bed,"
then he recommends making up a story for the older daughter that blames the
doctor: "inform (the older daughter) that her doctor found out that her
brother was sleeping in their bed, and (the doctor) told us that no child can
sleep in our bed."
