Book Reviews of Good Nights: The Happy Parents' Guide to the Family Bed (and a Peaceful Night's Sleep!)
Book Review: Think outside the square
Summary: 5 Stars
Was intrigued to read this book. I was advise by a pediatrician to look into the family bed 27 years ago.
We bought each of our 3 kids home from the hospital and they slept in our bed until they weaned themselves. Our GP, advisers and family where horrified. I assured everyone that the kids would be well weaned from the bed before they went to university.
We were struggling financially, I was studying for a degree and we were both busy trying to make a living.
Bonus 1 was we all slept well right from day one. Babies weaned from night feed fast, unless they were sick or upset and they were always easy to settle.
They were excited and keen to have their own bed which they graduated to between 12 and 18 months. So they weaned themselves from the family bed.
The biggest bonus now is I have a 27,24 and 22 year old, who all get on, all work closely together, and none have ever needed to chase promiscuity to find emotional fulfillment.
Well balanced families have kept children in the family bed for centuries. Our wealth today now lets us isolate our offspring just about as soon as the birth is complete. Think outside the social conditioning you have been subjected to and take a second look at this book.

Summary of Good Nights: The Happy Parents' Guide to the Family Bed (and a Peaceful Night's Sleep!)
More than ever, new parents are bringing their babies into their beds, but ironically, many of these parents feel alone in doing so. With warmth and humor, Good Nights brings the family bed out of the closet, and gives expert answers to parents common questions on everything from safety to sound sleep to sex. Good Nights also offers easy-to-tailor advice on when and how to move children into their own beds, and reasoned responses and snappy comebacks for critics. The authors build their case for the family bed on new scientific research, which has uncovered a wealth of dvantages for babies who share their parents bed. Among these benefits are possible protection from SIDS, andparadoxicallymore independence later in life. With its perfect blend of science and common sense, Good Nights is poised to become the new best friend and must-have accessory of all new parents.Sleep Books
