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

Send us a text


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. Book a consultation with her here.
