Paediatric sleep consultant Erica Hargaden meets many parents who every night are putting huge work into getting their child to sleep — lying down with them, rubbing their backs, rocking them, staying in bed with them to keep them asleep.

These parents never intended to co-sleep with their child, says Hargaden.
