"Co-sleeping next to your baby is incomparable" says James McKenna, PhD.
We were able to show in a sleep laboratory that the same mom-baby pair sleeping together over successive nights varied tremendously in the amount of breastfeeds the baby would get by virtue of the baby either sleeping in bed with the mother and/or sleeping in another room very close by. Indeed it really surprised us, it was almost like two different families that were being measured.
