Bed Sharing and Co-Sleeping: Truth vs. Fiction, Safety and Benefits

Wednesday, January 25

from 7:00 to 8:30pm

at the Athens library


In this meeting we will address recent co-sleeping concerns, and will go over how to co-sleep and/or bed-share safely. Parents will share their experiences, and Dr. Penny Shelton will share a physician's perspective on why sleeping close to your baby benefits the whole family. Benefits include: Babies sleep and stay asleep better, breastfeeding is easier, parents and infants become more connected, and more. Bring your questions, concerns and stories!
