Attached At The Hip : Co-Sleeping Advocacy

Many parents and children have discovered the benefits of co-sleeping and now they also have the backing of the American Academy of Pediatrics who say: "Mother and infant should sleep in proximity to each other to facilitate breastfeeding."
Attachment Parenting International reports the advantages for baby are: "Studies indicate that cultures that co-sleep have reduced incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), There are more periods of light sleep beneficial to creating stable heart rates and breathing patterns. Breastfeeding is better established through frequent nursings, which are facilitated by co-sleeping. Baby feels warm and secure, therefore cries less." And the advantages for parents are: "More sleep. Improves length and quantity of breastfeeding. Mother worries less about her infant. Parents develop a closer bond to baby."
