In 1992, Dr. William Sears, a well - known advocate of «sleep sharing», did a study on the benefits for both mother and
baby: he
set up equipment to monitor his eight week old daughter's breathing in two
different sleep environments: sharing a
bed with her mother (his wife, Martha) the first night, and sleeping alone.
I decided not to purchase a pre-assembled crib
bedding set, but rather pieced together
different items I liked to create a beautiful yet functional and safe sleeping space for
Baby Girl.
