There's no doubt that co-sleeping is a questionable thing. What are the benefits? Is it safe? Will my partner be able to accommodate? Co-sleeping has (and still is) one of those more topics up for controversy for parents.

Guidance could have came from my mother or grandmother, but many views may have been considered more out-dated or less researched at the time.
