It is clear that bedsharing can, indeed, be
particularly dangerous and should be avoided when drugs and alcohol are used, when mothers are smokers (before and after pregnancy), when other children are in the bed, if breastfeeding is not involved (as it changes the position of the infant in relationship to the mother's body and the sensitivity of each to the other), or if
soft mattresses or heavy blankets are used.4,34,47 - 51 It is also clear that co-sleeping
on a sofa, a couch or a recliner is highly dangerous and should always be avoided.48, 49,52 For families that can not arrange a safe bedsharing, however, separate

surfaces in their bright - white original state as the commuting miles piled up, with their accompanying spills of coffee and breakfast burritos.
