Safety Precautions for Bed-Sharing With Baby
To ensure safety, you need to take some precautions when bed-share with your baby:
– Parents should avoid bed-sharing if they have sleep issues
– Take out any blankets, pillows, or loose or soft bedding that would obstruct the breathing of the baby of lead to overheating
– Avoid using a very soft mattress or waterbed. Instead, go for a king or queen-sized mattress
– Do not smoke in the bedroom
– If parents are overweight or obese, avoid bed-sharing as it would increase the risk of rolling over the baby [9]
