As co-sleeping means sleep with your children. Can be done from sleep in the same bed as having a specially designed cradle to be attached to the family bed, or use a conventional crib without one side and attached to the bed where the parents sleep. Many times, instead of a crib is put another single bed attached to the bed more.
The benefits of bed sharing are many and varied. But the problem is that almost any book or article on the topic of infant sleep is not recommended for children to sleep with their parents. Why? One reason is the danger of drowning or crush during sleep. The danger is no trifle, but just as difficult to fall out of bed, it is unlikely that we end up our son. Even the staunchest defenders of the practice discourage co-sleeping when very tired has taken drugs (including smoking) or drink alcohol, or are very obese. Simply, are risk factors that increase the likelihood of such danger, but apart from those cases, no more alarm than to fall off the bed while we sleep. In fact, it is much more dangerous sleep on a couch with the baby on her lap to share a bed with him. You have to be careful that the baby can not be trapped between the wall and the mattress or between two mattresses. Two more details: when the baby is very young, the mother has a special connection with him, but the father usually takes several months to realize its small footprint, so it is recommended that the baby will not fall between mother and father but the mother and the end of the bed. They are also contraindicated waterbeds fluffy surfaces and pillows that could suffocate the baby.
Even so, why the popular belief that sleeping with babies is bad? Since even beyond the Middle Ages, in many cases more children were born could be fed. So it happened that "accidentally" started many infants die "by chance" crushed by their parents. The Church took up the issue and prevented the children sleep with their parents to avoid further infanticide by this method.
The human race, for Throughout our history since we were primates who lived in caves, has practiced co-sleeping. It is only in the last 150 years, with the arrival of houses with several rooms, which separates the babies to sleep away from their parents. For hundreds of years, mothers breastfed their babies at night, almost without waking. Infants receiving protection, emotional statement, "lessons on how to breathe," Heat and breast milk. If the baby has any difficulty, vomits, or is cold, the parents are at your side to help him. In fact, if the baby's body temperature gets too high, the mother down to compensate. The proximity to his mother stimulates breastfeeding. Children who sleep with their parents breastfeed more often than those who sleep in another room (almost double for almost 3 times longer). This means they have a different sleep pattern. Deep stage of sleep is much lower, so the risk of sudden death (presumably occurs in this phase) is lower. In addition, neuronal development occurs at its peak in the phase of sleep is less deep, so that by practicing co-sleeping, not only gives more milk, which is ideal for physiological protection, but it is enhancing their mental .
In countries like Japan, where co-sleeping is the norm, the rate of sudden infant death is one of the lowest in the world.
Children sleeping beside his mother cry much less often and less time awake. The mother, many times, you realize your baby needs a few seconds before he requests them, thus avoiding many tears. The convenience of not having to get out of bed, especially in cold weather, causing the mother and baby usually return to sleep almost immediately. In fact, sometimes the mother does not know exactly how many times have you woken up, because it really has not come to wake up at all!
