Unfortunately, parents
using a family
bed do not always follow safe
bed - sharing practices, such as removing pillows, sheets, and other objects that create an unsafe sleep environment for

To further investigate whether other characteristics of the sleep environment might affect the association between fan
use and the risk of SIDS, we examined room temperature, open window status, the
infant's last sleep position, with whom the
infant shared a
bed, and
use of a pacifier during the last sleep (Table 3).
In addition to questions regarding fan
use and open windows in the room at the
infant's last sleep, mothers were asked about room location, sleep surface, number and type of covers over the
infant,
bedding under the
infant, and room temperature.
A full - size crib is a
bed that: (1) is designed to provide sleeping accommodations for an
infant; (2) is intended for
use in the home, in a child care facility, in a family child care home, or in places of public accommodation affecting commerce; and (3) that has interior dimensions of 28 ± 5/8 inches (71 ± 1.6 centimeters) in width x 52 3/8 ± 5/8 inches (133 ± 1.6 centimeters) in length.
Fan
use was associated with a greater reduction in SIDS risk in
infants who shared a
bed with an individual other than their parents (AOR, 0.15; 95 % CI, 0.01 - 1.85) vs with a parent (0.40; 0.03 - 4.68).
Rebreathing exhaled carbon dioxide trapped near an
infant's airway by
bedding has been suggested as a possible mechanism for the occurrence of SIDS in at - risk
infants and may occur with the
use of soft
bedding, covering the head during sleep, and
use of the prone sleep position.9 - 12 Inadequate ventilation might facilitate pooling of carbon dioxide around a sleeping
infant's mouth and nose and might increase the likelihood of rebreathing.13, 14 Increased movement of air in the room of a sleeping
infant may potentially decrease the accumulation of carbon dioxide around the
infant's nose and mouth and reduce the risk of rebreathing.10 A recent study15 showing a significantly reduced risk of SIDS associated with pacifier
use further supports the importance of rebreathing as a risk factor for SIDS.

For instance, it has been suggested that the physical restraint associated with swaddling may prevent
infants placed supine from rolling to the prone position.299 One study's results suggested a decrease in SIDS rate with swaddling if the
infant was supine, 182 but it was notable that there was an increased risk of SIDS if the
infant was swaddled and placed in the prone position.182 Although a recent study found a 31-fold increase in SIDS risk with swaddling, the analysis was not stratified according to sleep position.171 Although it may be more likely that parents will initially place a swaddled
infant supine, this protective effect may be offset by the 12-fold increased risk of SIDS if the
infant is either placed or rolls to the prone position when swaddled.182, 300 Moreover, there is no evidence that swaddling reduces
bed - sharing or
use of unsafe sleep surfaces, promotes breastfeeding, or reduces maternal cigarette smoking.
Some caregivers
use such
bedding to prevent an
infant from rolling, but this
bedding could cause suffocation and entrapment.
Reasons that African - American parents
use soft
bedding and soft sleep surfaces for their
infants [abstract]
Loose
bedding, such as blankets and sheets, might be hazardous and should not be
used in the
infant's sleeping environment.3, 6,46, — , 51
Cosleeping is when parent and
infant sleep in close proximity (on the same surface or different surfaces) so as to be able to see, hear, and / or touch each other.139, 140 Cosleeping arrangements can include
bed - sharing or sleeping in the same room in close proximity.140, 141
Bed - sharing refers to a specific type of cosleeping when the
infant is sleeping on the same surface with another person.140 Because the term cosleeping can be misconstrued and does not precisely describe sleep arrangements, the AAP recommends
use of the terms «room - sharing» and «
bed - sharing.»
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.
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 surface co-sleeping (a bassinet next to the
bed, or the crib or an attached cradle, a form of roomsharing) provides similar benefits without any risk.

Parents and caregivers will also
use pillows and blankets to create barriers to prevent the
infant from falling off the sleep surface (usually an adult
bed or couch) or to prevent injury if the
infant hits the crib side.
In addition,
infants should not be placed for sleep on adult - sized
beds because of the risk of entrapment and suffocation.124 Portable
bed rails (railings installed on the side of the
bed that are intended to prevent a child from falling off of the
bed) should not be
used with
infants because of the risk of entrapment and strangulation.125
