What ultimately determines how long baby shares a bed with mom is how well mom—not baby—sleeps with this arrangement. Contrary to assumptions, baby is not quiet during sleep. He moves, sighs and fidgets, making sweet noises to which his mother is exquisitely sensitive. Many mothers simply cannot sleep a wink with their babies beside them, in which case baby should go into a crib in an adjoining room so that his cries, but not small noises, can be heard. A good night’s sleep is of paramount importance for a new and nursing mother. If she is lucky, dad will get baby when he wakes during the night, change him and then bring him in to nurse so that mom doesn’t have to get out of bed.

And while Dr. Sears and his wife, in desperation for sleep, brought their baby into the bed, sometimes the reverse is necessary and parents will indeed need to let baby “cry it out,”—although certainly not when baby is a tiny infant.
