Pretty good listen, interviewer is unbias.... covers the safety issues and bonding issues.  (don't be scared away at that 1st doctors responses!)

I was pleasantly surprised how unbiased the show was, considering it was aired because "A coroner in Quebec is preparing to hear testimony in the second of three inquests into the deaths of infants who slept in their parents' bed. The inquests have re-ignited the debate over co-sleeping. Supporters say it helps parents bond with their children. Opponents say it is dangerous and can lead to babies being smothered".  I only wish they would have given James McKenna a lot more air time!

I totally agree.  I think the whole coroner intro was just a good hook to get listeners--especially those opposed to co-sleeping.

 

I'd love to hear more from James McKenna too--the research about the mother/baby bond while sleeping is facinating.  Maybe in the Part two?  (coming I don't know when)
