cosleeping to 5 years of age (http://hijosdelmundo.blogspot.com )
One of the leading British experts in child mental health has advised parents to forget years of convention and let their children sleep with them in bed until 5 years of age. Margot Sunderland, director of education at the Center for Children's Mental Health in London, says the practice known as bed-sharing increases the likelihood that children grow up healthy and calm. Sunderland, author of 20 books, outlines their advice in his book "The Science of Parenting." And so sure of the findings of the new book, based on 800 scientific studies, that calls for health visitors were given out leaflets to inform parents about co-sleeping.
Sunderland argues that the practice in England to train children to sleep alone from a few weeks old is harmful because any separation from parents increases the flow of stress hormones like cortisol. Their results are based on scientific advances of the past 20 years about how the child's brain develops and studies using scanners to analyze how they react in special circumstances. For example, a neurological study 3 years ago showed how a child separated from a parent experienced similar brain activity to a child with physical pain.
Sunderland also believes that current practice based on social attitudes that should be abandoned: "There is a taboo in this country concerning the children sleep with their parents," he said. "What we have done in this book is to present scientific evidence. Studies worldwide show that co-sleeping up to 5 years is an investment for the child. Children may experience separation anxiety to 5 years or more, that may affect them in later life. This is quiet with co-sleeping. " The symptoms can also be physical. Sunderland cites a study which showed that 70% of women who had not been comforted when they cried as children, developed in adulthood digestive problems.
Book Sunderland's facing education gurus widely read as Gina Ford, whose advice is followed by thousands of parents. Ford calls for establishing sleep routines for babies from an early age in cots "separated from the rest of the house" and teach the baby to sleep "without the help of adults." In his book "Complete Guide for infants and children sleep satisfied," writes that parents need time for them. "Sharing a bed with children often end up with parents sleeping in separate rooms and exhausted mothers, a situation that brings a lot of pressure on the family as a whole."
Annette Mountford, chief executive of the organization parent "Family Ties" confirmed that the rule in England was to encourage children to sleep in their beds and cribs, often in separate rooms, from an early age. "Parents need their space," he said. "There are clear benefits in fact to introduce children in their own sleep routine in their own space"
contrast, Sunderland said that children change their beds since they have weeks of age, even if they cry at night, has been shown to increase the level of cortisol. Studies in children under 5 years show that over 90% of cases, the level of cortisol increases when they go to daycare and 75% of cases decreases again home.
Professor Jaak Panksepp, an expert in neuroscience from Washington State University and has written the book's foreword, says Sunderland's arguments are "consistent with a coherent history of neuroscience. An advanced society should take this into account." Sunderland
argues that putting children to sleep alone is a Western phenomenon that can increase the chance of crib death, also known as Sudden Death Syndrome AMOUNT (SIDS). This can happen because the child misses the calming effect that lying next to his mother exercises in breathing and heart function. "In the UK 500 children a year die of SIDS" Sunderland writes. "In China, where it is common practice co-sleeping, SIDS is so rare that it has no name."
