Not exact matches

Consider co-sleeping or bedsharing following safe guidelines.

Those mothers or fathers for whom having their baby close and next to them means the most and those that can follow through with avoiding all of the adverse factors presently know, and who breastfeed, will construct and enjoy the safest possible bedsharing environment.

I think it is safe to say that you shouldn't bedshare if your awareness is impaired in any way, but how many deaths could have been prevented if that recommendation was followed, we don't know.

Also, although I intuitively felt that bedsharing was totally natural and safe, my husband very strongly believed that we should follow the recommendations of the medical community and abstain from bedsharing.

Subsequently, by virtue of defining that an adult and infant are unable to safely sleep on the same surface together, such as what occurs during bedsharing, even when all known adverse bedsharing risk factors are absent and safe bedsharing practices involving breastfeeding mothers are followed, an infant that dies while sharing a sleeping surface with his / her mother is labeled a SUID, and not SIDS.26 In this way the infant death statistics increasingly supplement the idea that bedsharing is inherently and always hazardous and lend credence, artificially, to the belief that under no circumstance can a mother, breastfeeding or not, safely care for, or protect her infant if asleep together in a bed.27 The legitimacy of such a sweeping inference is highly problematic, we argue, in light of the fact that when careful and complete examination of death scenes, the results revealed that 99 % of bedsharing deaths could be explained by the presence of at least one and usually multiple independent risk factors for SIDS such as maternal smoking, prone infant sleep, use of alcohol and / or drugs by the bedsharing adults.28 Moreover, this new ideology is especially troubling because it leads to condemnations of bedsharing parents that border on charges of being neglectful and / or abusive.
