When To Put Kids In Their Own Bed

A new study by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) explores infant deaths alongside an overall recent increase in parents sleeping in the same bed as their children. In this week's parenting feature, a panel looks at the CDC's findings and shares their views on whether or not to co-sleep.

Regular contributors Jolene Ivey and Leslie Morgan Steiner are joined by special guest Dr. James McKenna, director of the Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame. They discuss the CDC's findings and share perspectives on the right time to separate a child from his or her parent after saying goodnight.
