Professor Sally Baddock will discuss the complexities of infant-adult bedsharing and the balance between benefits for the infant and family and potentially hazardous situations, based on international research and cross-cultural collaborations. She will draw on interviews with families gathering their perspectives, as well as overnight video and physiological monitoring of sleeping families in their home, and recent investigations of infant sleep devices such as the wahakura (flax bassinet) and Pēpi-pod (plastic bassinet), that potentially provide safer, culturally appropriate alternatives for families who wish to bedshare.

This inaugural lecture honours Sally's professorial appointment.
