The practice of co-sleeping involves sleeping together with one's own Child, especially during the first few months of life. To put co-sleeping into practice, it is important to know its risks and modalities.

Many parents support this practice as it is well established that sleeping together with mom and dad helps the baby fall asleep peacefully and is also a great help for breastfeeding. However, there are also many parents who advise against this activity because of all the risks that can be incurred if not put into practice properly.

 

How to practice co-sleeping safely?

When it comes to co-sleeping, it is always best to prefer a co-sleeper crib or a cradle to attach to the parents' bed because freely sharing the bed with the baby can be dangerous.

But let's see together how to use a co-sleeper:

  • The baby should rest on a flat surface
  • The baby should be positioned with the belly up.
  • You must use a cradle co-sleeper made from natural fabrics
  • The mattress of the cradle co-sleeper must be anti-suffocation
