A few weeks ago, I saw an article on the benefits of co-sleeping and plentiful parental affection in the waking hours.
I want to print this article for a friend, but now I cannot find it.
Would anyone by any chance remember this article's source? Sorry for being somewhat vague.
I thought that I first saw it on sciencedaily dot com, but cannot find it there.
Thanks for any help.
best,

Thank you!

I'm sorry I wasn't able to have read this article. I do have a book title that's up this alley-- "The Science of Parenting" by Margo Sunderland. The topic at hand is human infant/child brain development in relationship to parental responsiveness and the content is highly readable, despite the heady title. What I like best about this book is that it showcases many different ways of being emotionally responsive and acknowledges that what works for one family might not suit for another, but provides other methods of supporting the child's social and emotional development, which highly impacts how their brain will later process stressful situations and other challenges. I'll check back here, too, to see if anyone else has found the article you sited. Good luck!
Sad. I searched for it and can't find it also. Wish I could have found it.
There is quite a bit of information about attachment parenting on this site and the Sears family are a family of Pediatricians.
I don't know about the one you mention. Could this meet your needs?
There are so many. I don't know which one you saw. Here is one answer on the Mothering magazine site:

The Attachment Parenting site has many such articles:

And, the Natural Child magazine has a related article:

I am currently writing another full article on this subject and will be speaking about it at the LLL of WA conference Oct 16th and 17th 2010.
Yes, children who are physically with their mother at all times develop the most inner peace and high self-esteem and grow up to have very healthy sleep habits.
I am not familiar with the article, but Dr. William Sears has many child care books, and is a proponent of co-sleeping. He also has a website. I am a big fan of his work.
