Dr. William Sears is one of the most trusted and influential pediatricians of the past 50 years. He says, “I believe the safest place for most babies to sleep is in an Arm’s Reach Bedside Co-Sleeper® Bassinet.” Dr. Sears emphasizes the importance of the right sleep distance between parent and baby. If a breastfeeding mother keeps her baby too close, it can encourage “all-night” feeding. But if the baby is too far away, it may feel anxious and seek comfort. “The Co-Sleeper® provides the ideal distance for both mom and baby to enjoy a restful night’s sleep.”
Dr. James McKenna is an important expert on infant sleep. He says, “The Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper® brand bassinet represents an appropriate compromise for parents who are unsure whether or not they can provide a safe bedsharing environment for their infants. Mother and baby can enjoy close proximity, which maximizes breast-feeding; and/or important sensory exchanges between the mother and infant, and this side-by-side arrangement maximizes parental mentoring and nighttime interventions.”
