Co-Sleeping With Infants: Science, Public Policy, and Parents Civil Rights, with James McKenna, PhD

Dr. James J. McKenna, PhD, director of the Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame shares:
the science and history of co-sleeping,
the need to define the terminology
why public policy is based on social norms instead of science,
why public policy is unethical, as it withholds information about cosleeping
WHY THIS IS ALL GETTING READY TO CHANGE AS BREASTFEEDING RATES INCREASE
and how parents can become empowered and stand up for what is essentially a civil right: to make your conscious parenting choices according to science and not unethical public policy and uninformed social norms.

Lisa Reagan, interviewed Dr. McKenna at the More than LATCH conference in Chesapeake, Virginia.
