She
also instinctively bends her legs completing the protective space around the baby, making it impossible for another person to roll onto the baby without first coming into contact with her legs.15, 16 A breastfeeding mother who co-sleeps with her baby (and has not consumed alcohol, illegal or
sleep - inducing drugs or extreme fatigue)
also tends to be highly responsive to her baby's needs.17, 18
Studies show more frequent arousals in both mothers and babies when they co-
sleep, and some researchers have suggested that this may be protective against sudden unexpected infant deaths.19 — 21 Babies are checked by their mother and breastfeed more frequently when co-sleeping than when room - sharing.22, 23
In order for a
study to look at the differences between the two we need a longitudinal
study which specifically compares those who are exclusively breastfed to
sleep and through the night with those who are
sleep trained and night weaned, leaving out variables which can
also affect the results AND have it be peer reviewed.

The prone or side
sleep position can increase the risk of rebreathing expired gases, resulting in hypercapnia and hypoxia.54, — , 57 The prone position
also increases the risk of overheating by decreasing the rate of heat loss and increasing body temperature compared with infants
sleeping supine.58, 59 Recent evidence suggests that prone
sleeping alters the autonomic control of the infant cardiovascular system during
sleep, particularly at 2 to 3 months of age, 60 and can result in decreased cerebral oxygenation.61 The prone position places infants at high risk of SIDS (odds ratio [OR]: 2.3 — 13.1).62, — , 66 However, recent
studies have demonstrated that the SIDS risks associated with side and prone position are similar in magnitude (OR: 2.0 and 2.6, respectively) 63 and that the population - attributable risk reported for side
sleep position is higher than that for prone position.65, 67 Furthermore, the risk of SIDS is exceptionally high for infants who are placed on their side and found on their stomach (OR: 8.7).63 The side
sleep position is inherently unstable, and the probability of an infant rolling to the prone position from the side
sleep position is significantly greater than rolling prone from the back.65, 68 Infants who are unaccustomed to the prone position and are placed prone for
sleep are
also at greater risk than those usually placed prone (adjusted OR: 8.7 — 45.4).63, 69,70 Therefore, it is critically important that every caregiver use the supine
sleep position for every
sleep period.

Two later
studies not included in these meta - analyses reported equivalent or even larger protective associations.265, 266 The mechanism for this apparent strong protective effect is still unclear, but lowered arousal thresholds, favorable modification of autonomic control during
sleep, and maintaining airway patency during
sleep have been proposed.247, 267, — , 270 It is common for the pacifier to fall from the mouth soon after the infant falls asleep; even so, the protective effect persists throughout that
sleep period.247, 271 Two
studies have shown that pacifier use is most protective when used for all
sleep periods.169, 266 However, these
studies also showed increased risk of SIDS when the pacifier was usually used but not used the last time the infant was placed for
sleep; the significance of these findings is yet unclear.
The most recent
study report described in these same regions decreased tissue levels of 5 - HT and tryptophan hydroxylase, the synthesizing enzyme for serotonin, and no evidence of excessive serotonin degradation as assessed by levels of 5 - hydroxyindoleacetic acid (the main metabolite of serotonin) or ratios of 5 - hydroxyindoleacetic acid to serotonin.30 A recent article described a significant association between a decrease in medullary 5 - HT1A receptor immunoreactivity and specific SIDS risk factors, including tobacco smoking.40 These data confirm results from earlier
studies in humans39, 41 and are
also consistent with
studies in piglets that revealed that postnatal exposure to nicotine decreases medullary 5 - HT1A receptor immunoreactivity.42 Animal
studies have revealed that serotonergic neurons located in the medullary raphe and adjacent paragigantocellularis lateralis play important roles in many autonomic functions including the control of respiration, blood pressure, heart rate, thermoregulation,
sleep and arousal, and upper airway patency.
Physiologic
studies have demonstrated that, in general, swaddling decreases startling, 301 increases
sleep duration, and decreases spontaneous awakenings.310 Swaddling
also decreases arousability (ie, increases cortical arousal thresholds) to a nasal pulsatile air - jet stimulus, especially in infants who are easily arousable when not swaddled but less so in infants who have high arousal thresholds when not swaddled.301 One
study found decreased arousability in infants at 3 months of age who were not usually swaddled and then were swaddled but found no effect on arousability in routinely swaddled infants.301 In contrast, another group of investigators showed decreased arousal thresholds310 and increases in autonomic (subcortical) responses311 to an auditory stimulus when swaddled.
