Good Nights: The Happy Parents’ Guide to the Family Bed (and a Peaceful Night’s Sleep!)
This book was really helpful for reminding me why bed-sharing is a good decision for our family. It is so easy to read, humorous, and helpful. It offers tips on everything from how to keep your sex-life alive to how to ward off nay-sayers.
Sleeping with Your Baby: A Parent’s Guide to Cosleeping
DISCLAIMER: I have not read this book, but have read a lot of articles that have been taken from this book. James McKenna is the go-to co-sleeping expert, and I would feel remiss if I didn’t direct you to the book that is most recommended for parents interested in co-sleeping and/or bed-sharing.
