If you have considered taking your baby to bed, read this!, 29. Januar 1999
Von Ein Kunde
This book is helpful because it does not imply that there is one correct way to raise children. The author, Tine Thevenin, has a wonderful theory that a good parent is one who really listens to what a child asks of them. I was one of those people who vowed never to let my baby sleep with me, but after having my son in June 1998 and not sleeping more than 3 hours at stretch since, I have changed my attitude. I was sick of angrily getting out of bed every two hours to try to comfort him and finally tried bringing him in bed with me and my husband. Now we all are much happier-my son has the comfort of his parents nearby, I get a lot more sleep and my husband does not have to try to deal with a crying baby and a psycho wife in the middle of the night. This book is wonderful because it tells you to trust your instincts and not worry about what other people think of your parenting choices. It does not say that people who share their beds with their children are better parents, it just says to do what works for your family. Good common sense, if you asked me. Each child is different and each family is different. Many babies have not read the books that say they should sleep through the night at 3 months! If you too are tired of getting out of bed many times a night, taking your child into your bed may be the answer and this book can give you some background about this age-old practice. It is good to read if outsiders give you a hard time about it, too! If you are an attachment parenting advocate, this book will be right up your alley.

Salvation for all!, 19. März 2000
Von Ein Kunde
As very young parents, we were forced by circumstances to put our first child's crib right up against our bed in our room. I made the crib mattress level with ours, dropped the railing on the side against the bed, lashed the legs of the two together, and filled the small gap with a few old towels. Well, he never slept in the crib itself (it filled with toys and stuffed animals), but its presence made it safe for him to sleep with me in bed on that side, and NOT between me and my husband. We did it this way again when our daughter was born years later, though we didn't have to. I recommend this to everyone expecting a baby. Between this and breast-feeding, we avoided nearly all the problems other new parents moan about, like sleep dep, colic, earaches, and bedtime tears (my daughter never cried AT ALL til she was 3 or 4 months old!). And no, our sex life was never hindered. Happy babies sleep SOUNDLY! This book came out the same year my son was born, and i discovered it a year or two later...it was not the source of the idea for me, but it saved me many times from "expert" opinions that what we were doing was wrong! It is a bit dated and yes defensive, but bear in mind, in 1978, in a major metropolitan hospital, i had to FIGHT to be allowed to breastfeed at all! Our son is now about to graduate from college with honors; both children are very secure, focused, and wise people, with none of the self-destructive or reckless characteristics common in youth. I do attribute this LARGELY to the family bed approach.

This book worked for my family - it's beautiful., 29. Oktober 1999
Von Ein Kunde
This book is really wonderful. My husband and I read it before our baby was born, and felt that it made good sense. We loved seeing our baby and young child so happy and secure with us. He's grown now, and we always felt the closeness and security contributed to his self confidence. This book presents a good argument about why it doesn't make sense to isolate the youngest and most helpless members of the family.
