The American academy of pediatrics recommends room sharing when you have a new baby, but not bed sharing. We know that co-sleeping is one of the many risk factors for SIDS or sudden infant death syndrome. So the American academy of pediatrics recommends bringing your baby to bed with you for nursing, for bonding, for cuddling, but when it’s time to go to sleep put your baby in their safe sleep environment, which can be an arm’s reach away in their own basinet or co-sleeper. They are still right their when you need them to bring them near you for nursing and for bonding and for talking and singing to your little one which is so nice and so much fun. The safest place for baby to sleep is on their back in their own safe sleeping environment. So you don’t want any loose blankets, pillows or bumpers in the crib. If it’s a chilly night or you think your baby needs an extra layer, thrust them in a sleep sac or swaddle them tight as long as the blankets not loose and they can’t accidently kick it up over the face.
