29Nov

It seems after reading several articles on co-sleeping, I found that the writers are in disagreement with me and state that babies should only sleep in a bassinet or crib.  It is okay to place the seperate sleeping arrangement near the parents bed.  They are advocating against children sleeping in the parents bed under any circumstances and feel that baby safety is at risk.

The babies deaths from co-sleeping tend to increase during the winter months when there are more covers.  Babies do not necessarily waken when they are having breathing difficulty.  The recommendation is the child sleep in the crib with a tight fitting bottom sheet with thin bumper pads, if any.
