(cross-posted in Family Bed and Nighttime Parenting & Finding your Tribe)

I have a friend who writes for the Pioneer Press and wants to do a story on the family bed. She needs people to interview and is hoping to find someone who is sharing the bed with a child older than one, since (in her words) "it seems like it's quite common to co-sleep with an infant".

We don't have any kids (TTC for a year, miscarriage in May ), so we can't help her. The one family IRL that I know co-sleeps for sure is away on vacation for two weeks right now. So I wanted to help her find some co-sleeping mamas!

Usually for her articles you need to be someone who lives in the northern suburbs of Chicago: Evanston, Glenview, Skokie, etc, but she didn't specify that for sure, so if you live in Chicago proper, you could probably talk to her, too.

If you are interested in being interviewed, please PM me, and I'll give you the info on how to contact her.

Thanks!

my cousins did with 2 of their kids in dekalb..... but #3 is in a crib. they have been cosleeping with older 2 for 8 years or so......

Do you want me to contact them about this? They are relatively but not super crunchy and not knwledgeable about AP but practice it imo.

Just wanted to let you know that my friend's article on co-sleeping will be running in the Health and Family Section of the 9/28 issue of your local Pioneer Press newspaper (Evanston Review, Palatine Countryside, Skokie Review, etc). And it will be featuring some Mothering.com mamas!
