What happens when you decide to Bed Share with your Infant? Kim's birth story & Expert insight on Infant Sleep
Description
In today's episode I finish my conversation with Kim about her experience, both having kids and becoming a sleep coach.
NOTE: I should mention upfront that we talk about a full term still birth and how Kim managed that very challenging experience.
She also shares WHAT MAKES BED SHARING SAFE OR UNSAFE (generally speaking)
and gives TIPS about what's generally considered NORMAL FOR INFANT SLEEP and WHY WE SEE DISRUPTIONS IN SLEEP even after things have been going well!
We pick up where we left off last week. Kim is talking about the benefits of starting to understand what cultural anthropologists and others define as normal sleep patterns for infants.
