I like your videos because you provide an unbiased analysis. Until 3 months our son slept in his own crib. But his sleep quality(and quantity) improved drastically when we started co-sleeping. In our judgement, this was a game changer. I am an Indian living in Germany for 7 years now. I think co-sleeping would have been my default approach had I been living in India. But I must correct you here that it has nothing to do with the number of rooms. Its purely a cultural thing 😉.
Great video, but to say a two room hut is for the rich in Africa is misleading and inaccurate. Many caucasians visit the poorest and most remote areas and then generalise. On another note, I've recently begun to follow your channel and I see that you are an excellent doctor, truthful and very experienced. I've taken your advice on certain issues and seen immediate results.They don't make them like you anymore. Much love!
Dr Paul grew up in a very poor, rural African village, so he is speaking from his own experience 🙂 Of course, Africa is a huge continent with a huge variety of living conditions!
In the UK we are told to use a cot, I originally thought "if I Co sleep my baby WILL die". I like to be educated on everything though, so read up on many many options and Co sleeping was STILL pushed as bad/dangerous in the UK. Now my baby is hear I know Co sleeping can be (and is) done safely. it's absolutely amazing for us as I'm able to do it safely (where as before I wasn't getting any sleep while trying to get her to sleep in her cot and was passing out on the sofa - obviously that is very very dangerous!!!). most countries Co sleep as its the biological norm. I wish the uk/us would be mote open minded and educate people about different options so we can make a educated choice and execute that choice safely. Co sleeping isn't as dangerous as we think but it can be incredibly dangerous if done wrong (same as a cot can be dangerous if done wrong).
What about co sleeping with older kids who come from a trauma situation (a adopted child. I’m a single mom. She is almost 7) I’ve tried unsuccessfully twice in the last year to get her to sleep in her own room. She always tells me she feels like I don’t love her anymore because I want her away from me. I feel horrible Maybe I’m being manipulated but maybe it truly is making her feel that way.
I think it is better when she chooses for herself or maybe you can stay with her til she falls asleep and say if she wakes up scared or needs you she can come back to your bed but start out in her bed? Not sure but best of luck
Children can’t manipulate, they aren’t developmentally able to do that and also she is just asking for a connection. I would keep her close in the nest and when shes ready she will fly. Attachment leads to healthy confident children who will seek independence on their own time
That is absolute manipulation you had better put your foot down. Adopted or not that is manipulation to get what the child wants at the end of the day that is wrong of the child and should be addressed
"Not tryna be crude here, but some moms, you got a couple bean bags" 😂😂😂
I love this Dr. I was saying in Africa we co sleep with the baby. The USA makes moms afraid of everything

Yea, I think every country outside the united state co sleep. I still co sleep in a house with 3 bed room with my kid and baby. It’s a culture thing.

And then co sleep as reward :) once it has been addressed but FO NOT USE THE WORD MANIPULATE TO THE CHILD
You should read Jean Liedloff's book. Even older kids will benefit from cosleeping, until they are ready to go to sleep by themselves.
