In some countries such as Sweden, Norway or Japan, 90% of babies have enjoyed co-sleeping for a long time.
Advantages of co-sleeping
During the first months of life, babies usually wake up frequently and their sleep is more discontinuous. If you are already a mother, you know what we are talking about. If you are a first-timer, you will check it out. According to experts, improving the quality of sleep is precisely one of the advantages of co-sleeping, although it is not the only one as we will see below.
At feel the presence of the parents close, the baby feels more protected. This makes you sleep more peacefully and your rest is of higher quality. Co-sleeping too makes nighttime breastfeeding more comfortable for the mother and that you can care for the newborn without having to get out of bed. Thanks to the physical and emotional contact that exists, it is also strengthens the mother-child bond.
Co-sleeping crib, the most comfortable and safe solution
There are different ways to collect and one of the safest is using the co-sleeping crib. It is a special crib that attaches to one side of the parents' bed and that solves some of the inconveniences of the practice of co-sleeping in bed.
When the baby sleeps in the co-sleeping crib, has a own and safer space for rest and at the same time is close to the mother or father. This makes it more comfortable to hold or calm him if he cries and also makes it easier for the mother to breastfeed at night. In this sense, the continuous contact between mother and child favors the stimulation of breastfeeding, lasting in some cases.
Using the co-sleeping crib has advantages also for parents who can rest better thanks to the proximity they have with their son. It must be taken into account that a newborn usually wakes up several times a night, either because they are hungry or because the feeling of feeling alone causes anxiety. With the co-sleeping crib, the baby notices the presence of his parents, so he feels more protected and sleeps more peacefully.
Different studies affirm that children who have enjoyed co-sleeping as children are more self-confident adults, have better self-esteem and can even become happier adults.
However, when faced with the question of whether or not to share co-sleeping, the experts are very clear: it must be a free decision made by the parents. It is neither better nor worse. Each family has its own needs and circumstances. Therefore, collecting is a very personal choice.
