The Benefits of Co-sleeping

There are numerous reported benefits to co-sleeping. Aside from the chance to spend all night closer to your beloved little one theres health benefits too.

Tests in sleep labs by Dr. James McKenna, PhD showed that co-sleeping babies slept lighter which in itself may protect a baby from SIDS and also showed that babies usually coslept facing their mothers and they communicated during the night matching their breathing patterns giving better quality sleep.

Closeness is also a great benefit during co-sleeping, People who practice attachment parenting spend all day close to their baby and why should it be any different at night. A baby during the day will know mum is there and when cosleeping theres no need for him to cry for mum if shes right there beside them.

Feeding baby is much easier when cosleeping. Babies arent designed to sleep through the night from an early age and need to wake to be fed, a much easier task when baby is right there beside you

It has been said in some reasearch that cosleeping babies are more secure thann babies who are left in the crib and they have lower levels of cortisol, they behave better in school and are more well rounded independent children

Please remember to follow safety guidelines if you choose to co-sleep with your baby
