The Lullaby Trust «s Judith Howard has been advising and helping parents who have lost children to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) for several years and has said: «Ninety per cent of sudden infant deaths happen in the first six months and we're now finding that when you get a death in the first month of life, it's nearly
always because the
baby has been co-sleeping or
bed -
sharing with a parent.
Followers emphasize that attachment parenting is not actually about rules, but rather about sustaining a special relationship, built by following specific tenets that includes
baby - wearing, long - term breastfeeding, co-sleeping or
sharing the parental
bed with your child, and
always responding to your
baby's cry regardless of how tired the mother is.
