*TRIGGER WARNING: SIDS and Infant Passing* On The Gentle Cosleeper’s premiere, host Alexis Honey dives in, feet-first, on the topic of how to eliminate the risks associated around bed sharing formula babies. Beginning with a funny story about what her eldest did this week and how she began her bed sharing journey, she expresses her passion to inclusive to all gentle, responsive, conscious, attached parents; formula not being the exception.
Citing science-based research from doctors, La Leche League, and Alaska’s Department of Public Health, Alexis lays out a plan for formula families so that they can more confidently make the decision on whether or not bed-sharing is right for them.
