How to Co‐Sleep Safely With Your Baby.

Co-Sleeping in Separate Beds.

Co-sleeping is a great way to feel close to your baby. Co-sleeping is when you sleep in close proximity to your baby. There are two types of co-sleeping: room-sharing and bed-sharing. Room-sharing is when your baby sleeps nearby in the same room, and bed-sharing is when you sleep in the same bed with your baby. Many experts discourage bed-sharing because it carries increased risk of SIDS, or sudden infant death syndrome.Whether you choose to room-share or bed-share, the most important thing about co-sleeping is following the safety guidelines.



  1   Place a crib next to the bed. If you want to room-share, place a bed for your baby  right next to yours. You can put a bassinet, crib, or play yard in the room.You can be close to your baby, but reduce the dangers of bed-sharing.

  • Doctors recommend room-sharing as a way to reduce the risk of SIDS by up to 50%.


 2  Choose a bedside sleeper. If you want to be closer than a crib, you can place
 a  bedside sleeper on your bed. This bed attaches directly to the bed.so you can be next to your baby, but keeps you separated on different surfaces.







  3  Move the baby to another room between six and twelve months. If you co-sleep with your baby, you should do this until around 12 months of ag However, if you want to move them to their own room before that, wait until they aleast six month old.
