Honest Convo About Bed-sharing with Licensed Therapist Dr. Laura Schwinn

Host Lina Forrestal sits down with Licensed Therapist Dr. Laura Schwinn to have an honest conversation about bed-sharing.

Lina and Laura both share their experiences with bed sharing: why they chose to bed share and why they continue to bed share. They talk about the pressures of society to conform to one way of child sleep, touch upon relationship taboos, and talk about ways to re-establish intimacy.

The AAP strongly discourages bed-sharing with infants younger than 1 and if you’re new to the subject, please educate yourself with all of the facts, guidelines, and statistics.  Read more about safe sleep for infants here.

Dr. Laura, a clinical psychologist, has a niche in supporting women, whom feel they have lost their sense of self within the transition of becoming a mother (preconception and well into the motherhood journey).  Clients that resonate with Dr. Laura’s approach are high achieving, open-minded, curious explorers, with a propensity towards holistic health and attachment style parenting.
