Co-Sleeping: Should Your Child Sleep In Your Bed?
Co-sleeping is the practice where the child sleeps in bed with his parents. Not
surprisingly, it is one of the most hotly debated and controversial topics related to
pediatric sleep. Let’s see why.
Some people argue that co-sleeping is the right and natural way to raise a child because
the practice fosters a stronger bond and a more secure attachment.
Conversely, others will tell you that co-sleeping is risky, ridiculous, or even dangerous
and they don’t want it for their family.
So, which approach holds the truth?
First, it’s important to understand that co-sleeping is not magic. Although some
proponents of the family bed would disagree, numerous couples have reported that their
babies did not necessarily sleep deeper or longer because their parents were close by.
In fact, some parents found that their child slept longer and woke less frequently when
they stopped co-sleeping and moved him into his own crib.
However, whether families choose to co-sleep or have their children sleep independently
is a personal decision, and if both parents and child are safe, rested, and fulfilled, then
co-sleeping is nothing to worry about.
If you decide do co-sleep, this commitment requires some very careful thinking about
what you and your spouse feel is right for you as individuals, as a couple, and as a
family.
Ask yourselves the following questions:
•Is it nice to think about enjoying the coziness of sleeping in close proximity, or does
one or more of us tend to stay active during sleeping – potentially disrupting the others?
•Does everyone in our family want to co-sleep, or are we leaning toward it because one
of us feels strongly?
•Are we willing to commit to being quiet after our child falls asleep, or do we like to
watch TV or talk in bed?
•Will we enjoy being able to feed our baby more often throughout the night, or will
having him next to us make it tougher to wean nighttime feeds?
•Are we agreeable to getting into bed when our child does, to ensure his safety?
•For working parents, does sleeping next to our child allow us to feel more connected to
him?
As expected, co-sleeping has both advantages and disadvantages.
Let’s take a closer look at them.
Advantages:
•Constant closeness whenever the child is awake. Many children and parents enjoy this
feeling.
•Immediate action and support for any sleep-related problem
•The ability to nurse and respond to other nighttime wakings without getting up
•More time to spend with the child
•Possibly better sleep for both the child and the parents, if the child was sleeping poorly
to begin with
Disadvantages:
•Parents may sleep poorly if their children are restless sleepers
•Parents may end up sleeping in separate rooms, and they may become angry at their
child or with each other
•Children’s and adults’ sleep cycles do not coincide
•Parents may have to go to bed at a very early hour with their children and be left with
little time for their own evening activities
•Parents have little privacy
•There may be a slight increase in the risk to the infant from SIDS and related causes.
The decision to co-sleep should be yours, made by the parent – or parents – and based
on your own personal philosophies, not on pressure from your child or anyone else.
Another family’s good or bad experience with co-sleeping should not influence your
decision: your child is unique and your family is not the same.
