The crib industry & the CPSC announced that 60 babies per year die from accidents in adult beds. According to their figures, most adult bed deaths occurred when babies were alone and unattended, many times on sofas. It should be noted that the risk of SIDS is decreased for babies sleeping in a safe adult bed next to their protective moms (co-sleeping). Sleeping in a crib in another room of the house is the greatest risk factor for SIDS; 10X the risk of sleeping in the same room as the parents!Studies show that after leaving the womb there is an important continuum of mother-provided regulation. While asleep, parental warmth, heartbeat, and breathing help to regulate proper body temperature and oxygenation in baby. Co-sleeping also encourages natural breast feeding and comforting, adding important hormonal and immune regulation.
