Question
How does Shari Stamps's approach to bedsharing differ from traditional methods?
Answer
My approach to bedsharing is rooted in the belief that there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for every family. I believe in educating families about all the safe sleep options available, not just separate room crib sleep. I've seen how bedsharing and contact naps can benefit certain families, especially those who might be struggling with breastfeeding or feeling distant from their baby.
I also emphasize that safety is paramount in any sleep arrangement. I encourage parents to follow guidelines like the Safe Sleep 7 from La Leche League when bedsharing.
It's important to note that every baby is unique, with different temperaments and sleep needs. Therefore, what works for one family might not work for another. I'm here to help parents navigate these choices and find what works best for their family.
