Latest research on breastfeeding and bed sharing with your baby

One of the guidelines on safe sleep is room sharing but not bed sharing with your infant.

Thanks to new research at Durham Infancy and Sleep Center the guidelines have now been updated.

“Research by our baby sleep experts has led to new international guidance on bedsharing.

In the new protocol, breastfeeding mothers and babies are not advised against bedsharing, as long as no dangerous circumstances exist. This marks a departure from advice most commonly given which categorically advises against bedsharing.” – Durham Infancy and Sleep Center
