Margo and her husband Eduardo have just welcomed Juan, their first baby. Both parents come from a culture where the practice of co-sleeping is preferred for a nursing baby. The parents have recently seen two news items about where babies should sleep.
Review the information at these Web sites: www.askdrsears.com (search for Dr. Sears Addresses Recent Co-Sleeping Concerns) and www.kidshealth.org (click the “For Parents” button and search co-sleeping).
What might Margo and Eduardo do to combine what they find culturally acceptable with what is best for Juan's health and well-being? Write at least one paragraph with your suggestions, being sensitive to both their culture and the Web sites’ information.
