Not true. “Often” in this context is a wild overstatement. Humans around the world have co-slept with infants for thousands of years and it’s generally safe.
There are known risk factors for infant smothering during sleep. E.g., parental drinking or smoking, infant low birth weight or respiratory issues (as a sibling comment said). Education and care control for these well.
