There is a lot of research into why cosleeping is beneficial for babies, including gaseous exchange, skin on skin contact, access to the breasts etc.

There is also lots of research about why leaving a baby to cry is damaging to their developing brain, as well as undermining the attachment between parent and child which has been linked to an increase in depression and anxiety.

We all do what is best for us and our family. Please do not feel judged by those who oppose Tizzy Hall and SOS...its just her ideas do go against research into this area.

Are you after links to read? The authors Bowlby and Ainsworth are noted for their work in attachment theory, while Dr Sears is noted as the guru of attachment parenting.

I also like this article by Dr McKenna which gives an oerview of solo sleeping practices and why it is better for babies to sleep with a parent.
