8 TIPS FOR SLEEPING WITH A NEWBORN
A lot of studies with scientific rigor have been carried out around the colecho and in all, there are data for and against.
When it is a parent’s free decision, it has little consequence on the child’s attachment and safety. But if the child has trouble sleeping or wakes up a lot, then it can have negative consequences for the child’s development.
In any case, if you have decided to sleep with your little one you must adopt some security measures:
- Parents should never take drinks or drugs that promote deep sleep.
- They should not sleep with the little one if one of them suffers from sleepwalking, epilepsy or similar disorders.
- It is also not convenient for them to smoke since smoking in parents increases the risk of sudden death in babies
- The bed must be wide to accommodate three people and you should avoid covering the child excessively with quilts or clothes that are very hot.
- It is preferable that the baby sleeps on one side, next to mom and not between both parents.
- Use a hard mattress, because sometimes mattresses tend to curl down the middle over time and your baby could suffocate.
- To prevent falls, it is good to put a barrier on the side where the child sleeps. When you start to crawl, you should even protect the other side and protect the ground with cushions.
- Make sure that there are no gaps between the mattress and the wall where the baby could be trapped.
