A brilliant and safe way to do this, and also prevent any chance of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is to go for a crib, cot or bassinet that attaches to the bed, so that your baby is at arm's reach from you at all times, but there is no chance of accidental suffocation as there is when you allow your baby to sleep in bed with you.

However, such soft bedding can increase the potential of suffocation and rebreathing.54, 56,57,179, — , 181 Pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, and other soft surfaces are hazardous when placed under the infant62, 147,182, — , 187 or left loose in the infant's sleep area62, 65,184,185,188, — , 191 and can increase SIDS risk up to fivefold independent of sleep position.62, 147 Several reports have also described that in many SIDS cases, the heads of the infants, including some infants who slept supine, were covered by loose bedding.65, 186,187,191 It should be noted that the risk of SIDS increases 21-fold when the infant is placed prone with soft bedding.62 In addition, soft and loose bedding have both been associated with accidental suffocation deaths.149 The CPSC has reported that the majority of sleep - related infant deaths in its database are attributable to suffocation involving pillows, quilts, and extra bedding.192, 193 The AAP recommends that infants sleep on a firm surface without any soft or loose beddinin the infant's sleep area62, 65,184,185,188, — , 191 and can increase SIDS risk up to fivefold independent of sleep position.62, 147 Several reports have also described that in many SIDS cases, the heads of the infants, including some infants who slept supine, were covered by loose bedding.65, 186,187,191 It should be noted that the risk of SIDS increases 21-fold when the infant is placed prone with soft bedding.62 In addition, soft and loose bedding have both been associated with accidental suffocation deaths.149 The CPSC has reported that the majority of sleep - related infant deaths in its database are attributable to suffocation involving pillows, quilts, and extra bedding.192, 193 The AAP recommends that infants sleep on a firm surface without any soft or loose beddinin many SIDS cases, the heads of the infants, including some infants who slept supine, were covered by loose bedding.65, 186,187,191 It should be noted that the risk of SIDS increases 21-fold when the infant is placed prone with soft bedding.62 In addition, soft and loose bedding have both been associated with accidental suffocation deaths.149 The CPSC has reported that the majority of sleep - related infant deaths in its database are attributable to suffocation involving pillows, quilts, and extra bedding.192, 193 The AAP recommends that infants sleep on a firm surface without any soft or loose beddinIn addition, soft and loose bedding have both been associated with accidental suffocation deaths.149 The CPSC has reported that the majority of sleep - related infant deaths in its database are attributable to suffocation involving pillows, quilts, and extra bedding.192, 193 The AAP recommends that infants sleep on a firm surface without any soft or loose beddinin its database are attributable to suffocation involving pillows, quilts, and extra bedding.192, 193 The AAP recommends that infants sleep on a firm surface without any soft or loose bedding.

Cobedding of twins and other infants of multiple gestation is a frequent practice, both in the hospital setting and at home.174 However, the benefits of cobedding twins and higher - order multiples have not been established.175, — , 177 Twins and higher - order multiples are often born prematurely and with low birth weight, so they are at increased risk of SIDS.101, 102 Furthermore, there is increased potential for overheating and rebreathing while cobedding, and size discordance might increase the risk of accidental suffocation.176 Most cobedded twins are placed on their sides rather than supine.174 Finally, cobedding of twins and higher - order multiples in the hospital setting might encourage parents to continue this practice at home.176 Because the evidence for the benefits of cobedding twins and higher - order multiples is not compelling and because of the increased risk of SIDS and suffocation, the AAP believes that it is prudent to provide separate sleep areas for these infants to decrease the risk of SIDS and accidental suffocation.

At one extreme, some certifiers have abandoned using SIDS as a cause - of - death explanation.7 At the other extreme, some certifiers will not classify a death as suffocation in the absence of a pathologic marker of asphyxia at autopsy (ie, pathologic findings diagnostic of oronasal occlusion or chest compression8), even with strong evidence from the scene investigation that suggests a probable accidental suffocation.

A recent meta - analysis of 11 studies that investigated the association of bed - sharing and SIDS revealed a summary OR of 2.88 (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.99 — 4.18) with bed - sharing.158 Furthermore, bed - sharing in an adult bed not designed for infant safety exposes the infant to additional risks for accidental injury and death, such as suffocation, asphyxia, entrapment, falls, and strangulation.159, 160 Infants, particularly those in the first 3 months of life and those born prematurely and / or with low birth weight, are at highest risk, 161 possibly because immature motor skills and muscle strength make it difficult to escape potential threats.158 In recent years, the concern among public health officials about bed - sharing has increased, because there have been increased reports of SUIDs occurring in high - risk sleep environments, particularly bed - sharing and / or sleeping on a couch or armchair.162, — , 1in an adult bed not designed for infant safety exposes the infant to additional risks for accidental injury and death, such as suffocation, asphyxia, entrapment, falls, and strangulation.159, 160 Infants, particularly those in the first 3 months of life and those born prematurely and / or with low birth weight, are at highest risk, 161 possibly because immature motor skills and muscle strength make it difficult to escape potential threats.158 In recent years, the concern among public health officials about bed - sharing has increased, because there have been increased reports of SUIDs occurring in high - risk sleep environments, particularly bed - sharing and / or sleeping on a couch or armchair.162, — , 1in the first 3 months of life and those born prematurely and / or with low birth weight, are at highest risk, 161 possibly because immature motor skills and muscle strength make it difficult to escape potential threats.158 In recent years, the concern among public health officials about bed - sharing has increased, because there have been increased reports of SUIDs occurring in high - risk sleep environments, particularly bed - sharing and / or sleeping on a couch or armchair.162, — , 1In recent years, the concern among public health officials about bed - sharing has increased, because there have been increased reports of SUIDs occurring in high - risk sleep environments, particularly bed - sharing and / or sleeping on a couch or armchair.162, — , 1in high - risk sleep environments, particularly bed - sharing and / or sleeping on a couch or armchair.162, — , 165

A death is coded as «accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed» (ASSB)(ICD - 10 W75) when the terms «asphyxia,» «asphyxiated,» «asphyxiation,» «strangled,» «strangulated,» «strangulation,» «suffocated,» or «suffocation» are reported, along with the terms «bed» or «crib.»

Bed - sharing, the unsafe practice in which parents sleep in the same bed as their babies, is associated with sleep - related deaths in infants, including sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed.

What bothers me is that bedsharing gets promoted in some circles as being inherently protective against SIDS, which leads to a really cavalier attitude in those circles to the need to create a safer bedsharing environment (because any advice on how to prevent accidental suffocation is obviously just a conspiracy by Big Crib to demonise bedsharing).

Firstly, why in the world are we including accidental suffocation deaths in the SIDS rate?!

Bed - sharing, the unsafe practice in which parents sleep in the same bed as their babies, is associated with sleep - related deaths in infants, including sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed.

Cars, for example, must have working brakes; children's cribs can not be built in such a way that they cause accidental suffocation.
