Did anyone see this show? I had two calls about it last evening from
mothers, but I did not see it myself. Apparently, a single mother of two
preschoolers was brought to the show by her fiance who was concerned because
the children slept with their mother. Oprah's guru, Dr. Phil, said that
research showed it was harmful for children to sleep with their parents and
that it caused them to "regress."

I have not liked this Dr. Phil guy since I heard him talk about how his wife
wanted to have a baby, he didn't, and he told her she could have a baby as
long as nothing changed. He insisted she have a babysitter on call, for
example, so they could go out spontaneously, whenever they wanted, just as
if they didn't have a child. He was very proud that they had achieved this.

But I am discouraged by this new attack on co-sleeping.
