It has been studied and found that co-sleeping can actually reduce a baby’s risk of SIDS. SIDS is an abbreviation for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Some causes of SIDS could be heavy bedding, smothering, and some babies just stop breathing in their sleep. Studies have shown that when a baby sleeps with his or her mother they feed off the mother’s stimulation, like breathing patterns. When a mother gets into a sleeping routine with her child the smallest things like her heartbeat, breathing, and…

overlooked how much a mother provides for her child. A mother provides warmth, security, food, and nurture. According to the Journal of Human Behavior and Evolution, a mother’s death directly increases the mortality of her child, and studies throughout complex societies have found that a baby’s chance of survival after a mother’s death can be less than 5% (Sear, 2008). Infants among non-human primates have also been documented to experience detrimental effects after short or long term periods of…
between co-sleeping and the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). While the old research findings were that bed sharing was associated with increased risk for SIDS, some authors proposed that bed sharing might be potentially protective against SIDS (Kelmanson, 2006). The debate on whether co-sleeping prevents the risk of SIDS has been argued for a long time. However, some researchers have found out that co-sleeping does lower the chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. James J. McKeena…
development of unborn babies, as it was not understood that these drug molecules could cross the placental wall, severely affecting the foetus. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the drug thalidomide affected over 10,000 babies and thousands of fetal deaths worldwide.
