- paulryanrogers 4y agoUnless the baby gets caught in the covers or rolled upon during the night. Every approach likely has some pros and cons, so barring randomized and reproduced trials I take all claims as unproven.
- goldenchrome 4y agoYes if you’re obese or inebriated then you shouldn’t sleep next to a baby, but in those cases you’re better off abstaining from food and drink for your own sake anyway.
- xyzzy_plugh 4y agoSure, but even if you're not these things still happen. To normal, healthy, reasonable people. They don't happen to people who don't co-sleep.
- GuardianCaveman 4y agoThey also want a steady stream of cookies and iPad games and to be able to climb on high dangerous objects but maybe we shouldn’t indulge every want of a child.
- goldenchrome 4y agoGiving an infant a feeling of safety when they’re too small to comprehend their environment is not indulgence.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 4y agoThat's a way older kid than a baby though
- number6 4y ago> Everyone sleeps better. Did you ever sleep next to an infant?
- goldenchrome 4y agoYes
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 4y agoYes, got 9 hours of sleep/day (interrupted by diaper change, sure) vs the initial 2/week
- jjulius 4y ago>Everyone sleeps better. This is an absolute that is not true. Many people, even you, may - great! Others may not.
- goldenchrome 4y agoFair—I was being too extreme.
- russdill 4y agoSeriously, I wonder if it's father's saying stuff like this. You just need to go on YouTube and see the abuse that mother's get from infants and small children while co-sleeping.
