Isn't co-sleeping a significant cause of death though? So maybe our society traded sleep to get a higher survival rate

- PaulHoule 3y agoThere are two versions of this story. "It's very safe to sleep with your baby unless you sleep with your baby drunk or on a small couch", and "It's very dangerous to sleep with your baby especially if you sleep with your baby drunk or on a small couch" That last bit is right and a study found "The risk associated with being found in the parental bed was not significant for older infants (>14 weeks) or for infants of parents who did not smoke and became non-significant after adjustment for recent maternal alcohol consumption..." See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC28288/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC28288/ Anyone who has shared a bed with a cat or small dog would note that you never roll over and crush it.
