The Great Co-Sleeping Survey
-
May 29, 2008
The Fennells have been involved in promoting safe co-sleeping for many years.
As parents of six and inventors of the Humanity Family Sleeper, they know first hand how misleading media coverage of co-sleeping can discourage families from using this important bonding and nurturing tool.
Now they have launched "The Great Co-Sleeping Survey" to help raise awareness about co-sleeping, and how to do it safely.
Please participate in their survey and check back next month for information about API's Safe Sleep Campaign.
