S1 Episode 4: Accidental versus planned co-sleeping!

Trigger warning: this episode discusses babies dying while co-sleeping, grandparents dying and Motor Neuron Disease.

In this episode we aim to discuss where a baby should sleep upon arriving earthside.

What we really end up discussing is – Zoe had her OGT test. What was the smell in my car? Explaining an illness like Motor Neuron Disease to children. Officially, baby should sleep in a room with parent(s) until 6-months. Co-sleeping – should be divided into 2 categories: planned & accidental. Mini Cribs. How long to swaddle. The difference between SIDS & SUDI. The Dr who believed mattress wrapping prevented SIDS is the late Dr Jim Sprott (RIP).

Listener’s question from Jo “What to do if baby won’t take the dreamfeed?”
