Or her! Yer baby, that is! This link is to an article that is a great recent overview of the many benefits of sharing a bed with your baby, as well as tips for doing so in a safer manner. McKenna has made it his life's work to research moms and babies during sleep---he knows what he is talking about.

This topic is near and dear to my heart (quite literally as C-S is sleeping on my chest as I write). I am eternally eternally grateful to Sheila Kippley for writing Breastfeeding and Natural Child Spacing for so many reasons, but one great one was introducing us to the family bed. I can't say how great it has been to sleep with all four of our little ones. And yes they do eventually "move out".
My dear sister-in-law recently had her first baby. You guessed it: she & hubby are sleeping with their baby now too! Kudos to my dear sister and brother, for listening to your hearts!!
